Certainly. Then you can speak to it as the chair.
The First Nations Advisory Committee on Safe Drinking Water was created by the class action settlement. Its mandate, among other things, is to canvass and represent the views of first nations across the country. Its membership is made up of indigenous persons from across the country, and the mandate is to help provide advice to the federal government on what priorities it should look to in terms of asset allocation, funding and the types of water infrastructure that should be provided to first nations. That's mandate number one.
Mandate number two is to oversee and help monitor this very process, i.e., the repeal of the former water act and the replacement of it with this water act. In simple terms, this means ensuring that this water act meets the needs of the first nations and also meets the terms and conditions that Canada has already agreed to in the class action settlement itself, both by way of written agreement and by way of court orders enforcing that agreement.
I'm the executive director of the First Nations Advisory Committee on Safe Drinking Water. Chief Whetung-MacInnes is the chair of the committee itself, and I'll turn it over to her now to answer the question from her perspective.
