Thank you very much for the question.
In terms of the legislation and the source water protection that my colleague mentioned earlier, water flows, and it's a multi-jurisdictional issue. It's really about creating pathways, as water flows on to reserve land and off of reserve land, to ensure that the provinces, first nations and federal government are working together. It's not just Indigenous Services Canada. It's also other federal ministers coming together and using all those regulatory powers that exist in Canada to work with provinces, to coordinate those laws and support first nations on that safe drinking water.
I'd also add that there are regulatory-making abilities in the proposed bill itself on first nation lands. With those proposed regulations, they would go through the normal gazette process where everybody would be included, including provinces and territories. In addition to that, there are commitments for that ongoing consultation and co-operation with first nations, as the rights holders, to protect their drinking water.
Thank you.
