Excellent. Okay.

Thank you, Mr. Lemire.

Thank you, Brendan, as well.

Chief Hill and Councillor Frazer, I so appreciate you both being here to help us understand the reality of what folks in your community are facing. What we get told is, and here's the quote from Indigenous Services Canada: “all residents of Six Nations of the Grand River have access to safe drinking water”. The reserve is not under a water advisory according to Indigenous Services Canada.

Can we just get clarity for the record?

Councillor Frazer, I believe you just finished sharing with a colleague that 70% of residents at Six Nations do not have access to clean drinking water. Can you clarify that? What percentage of residents do not have access today to safe drinking water from the tap?
