This is obviously a complex debate. We often think that this kind of situation happens in rural or very remote northern areas, but that's not the case for Curve Lake.
We are therefore asking the government to make an investment and shoulder its responsibilities. One thing I remember well from our conversation was that the costs can't be passed on to a community like Curve Lake, because there aren't enough people there. For the community, there is no other alternative than a water treatment plant.
What is the federal government's actual responsibility in this matter? In concrete terms, what are your expectations of the federal government? How can Bill C‑61 help or not help first nations?
