Housing Minister Sean Fraser says Alberta , Ontario and Saskatchewan have not responded to federal offer.

Alberta Seniors, Community and Social Services Minister Jason Nixon disagrees with Fraser ’s characterization of what happened, saying Alberta hasn’t received or declined any offer of money related to encampments.

Nixon says the province is interested in matching funding and they are “all ears” if the federal government wants talks to continue.

Sohi said the money is meant for managing and responding to encampments.

He knows encampments aren't safe but he knows some Edmontonians don't have any other options.

“We need to make sure they have safe spaces for them. Ultimately, we need to build more homes.”.
