First of all, I'll just say that no bill is able to be presented in the House of Commons unless it's supported by cabinet. As you know, Minister Anandasangaree and I work very closely together, and I have the full support of cabinet in working on this legislation; otherwise, I obviously wouldn't be here today.
What I will say is that Indigenous Services Canada works extensively with first nations communities on water and water development. While Minister Anandasangaree is responsible for working with communities on things like treaties, he and all of our colleagues are responsible for ensuring that the work of first nations gets done appropriately and in a timely way.
That responsibility in terms of services does fall under my portfolio. I have a department full of officials, engineers, technicians and legal experts in this area, while his department might not, so we have worked very closely with Minister Anandasangaree. We have worked very closely with other related ministers, such as the Minister of Environment, to make sure that we are aligned in the work we're doing to protect water in this country.
