On first nations water quality, there are 12 monitoring stations in 3,000 first nations. I've been told--and I'm not an expert--that the quality of drinking water on first nations is a function of the quality of the water source. Does that mean we're really not too concerned if we have only 12 stations out of 3,000? Does that mean the federal government isn't really too concerned about the quality of the water source? And is that perhaps one of the reasons we have so much trouble in this country delivering clean water to first nations?
