Safe Drinking Water Monitoring Program Charlene Campbell-Wood

ADVANCING RECONCILIATION WITH INDIGENOUS PEOPLES

It is unacceptable that anyone living in Canada should not be able to safely drink the water that comes out of their taps.

No person should be forced to live in overcrowded and unsafe homes, and no young person should have to move far

from home to get a good education. Yet, all over Canada, these are exactly the challenges faced by Indigenous Peoples.

Indigenous Peoples, non-Indigenous Canadians and the Government agree that this must change. Together, Canada and

Indigenous Peoples are forging a new relationship, based on recognition of rights, respect, cooperation and partnership.

MEASURES

CLEAN AND SAFE DRINKING WATER

The Government is committed to eliminating all long-term drinking water advisories on public water systems on reserve

by March 2021. As of February 12, 2018, 52 long-term drinking water advisories on public water systems have been

lifted. Through Budget 2018, the Government is building on investments of previous budgets, with new funding to

accelerate the construction of new water systems and renovate existing ones. With these investments, the Government

will ensure that more affected water systems will become functional earlier than 2021. New investments would also

support efforts to recruit and train water operators—as well as establish innovative First Nations-led service delivery

models.
