On the whole issue of adequate costs, I guess I'm a little cynical. I've been dealing with water issues for a quarter of a century, and I'm always wary of government making a promise. It seems that they download the responsibility to the communities without giving the resources.
Mr. Paul, I'd like to ask you about that. Neskantaga First Nation is in the land of beautiful lakes, yet they've gone 28 years without clean drinking water. If you go to Neskantaga, they have a brand new water treatment plant, but the pipes are all rotted.... I was trying to figure it out. Again, how is it possible that we could build a water treatment plant in a community without clean water, and they still don't have it? They said that it's the same as if you put a new engine into a rotting Ford that's out by the side of the highway and tell people to drive.
What is it going to take to ensure we have adequate funding in place to make sure the whole life cycle of water is covered and the infrastructure is there to guarantee the rights that people have?
