“This bill gives First Nations the legal power and tools to manage their own drinking water and wastewater. It lets them set their own clean water rules.”
“Mr. Speaker, that was an important question. Bill C-37 would ensure that first nations have the authority and means to deliver safe, reliable drinking water in their communities. By affirming jurisdiction over water sources and by also ensuring drinking water and waste water for first nations, we would be enabling the development of clear, consistent, first nations-led standards. The authority— An hon. member: Oh, oh!”
