One of the things that I'd like to add to earlier parts of the discussion on this is the fact that we are working much more closely with our first nation partners in this and building capacity with them to monitor and test themselves.
An example I can give you is that in Quebec when I was working there, and it's still a best practice, we were doing a training, sort of a community training program, that is building that capacity at the community level so they can monitor it themselves, day to day. We found that when we're talking about accountability and that ongoing monitoring, when the communities themselves are empowered to do this work there's much more ownership and control over it.
As Mr. Tibbetts alluded to, this is a balancing act with our colleagues over at Indigenous and Northern Affairs. We work with them as well, because they have the infrastructure part of it. But it's empowering the first nations themselves that we see as the real way to make progress on this. We've been monitoring that very closely. We continue to have indicators to demonstrate.
I think one of the ones I can share with you is that even just the perceptions of first nation residents themselves have improved dramatically from 2011, where we've seen an increase to 71% as viewing their tap water as safe, as compared with 2007 when there was 62%. We believe it's due in large part to this empowerment initiative that we're trying to work with them on.
