It's actually difficult to measure. That is, in fact, the correct answer. What happens is that, while some have been alleviated, new ones have arisen. What we see in many cases is a periodic solution that is temporary. The spring's high water flooding situation was problematic in a number of communities. That creates a clean water issue. There are others that are very long-standing and have yet to be addressed. So, although the statistics that I have seen from the government, the measure of their progress, would show a small diminution of the totality, at this stage, it is difficult to imagine a full elimination of all of the boil water advisories across the first nations communities in Canada within the timeline that was envisioned. There are a number of steps that can be taken to address that.
In part, we have spoken to that in our submission with regard to the investments in operations maintenance. One of the largest cost areas for water treatment plants is, in fact, not the construction—although that is a significant capital outlay—but the operations and maintenance.
Secondary to that, the education and training of people locally who might take those positions and continue that work, which has, of course, a relationship to the underfunding in education and jobs and skills training. There are specific investments that can help to create a more stable foundational structure for the eventual elimination of the boil water advisories. We are not specifically tackling one at a time the individual problems that have arisen, or necessarily by constructing a water treatment plant in those areas where one is needed. We have to actually get underneath that, understand what the larger cost drivers are in addressing the problem, and invest there. We have identified the largest one as being operations and maintenance.
