“First Nations need to set their own water standards, both on their lands and beyond. They also need to work with the provinces and territories to do this. For the first time, our government has partnered with them to make that happen. We will keep supporting them in this work.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am happy that my colleague has asked that question. It is one of great importance, because we know that first nations have to do the work of expanding the minimum standards that are now applicable in their communities and setting the regulatory gaps for in communities and out of communities, working, negotiating and collaborating in partnership with provincial and territorial governments. For the first time ever, this government has been able to secure that in collaboration. We will support them in community and out, in partnership, at all tables, because we want to honour the work we do with them.”
