I think, read with other sections in this act—and there are sections that we haven't arrived at—“comparable services” is a significant piece. We have talked about the funding framework. The legislation proposes to develop a public-facing funding framework on “actual costs” to maintain and operate first nations water systems. That will be in the public vernacular. The minister, regardless of who that person is, must take action and move towards supporting the costs, comparable cost and actual cost, of water systems, which would be part of the tabling of this financial report.
It is an extremely high bar, and read with other elements of this legislation, particularly comparable services and funding agreements in the public sphere, it would create a significant kind of impetus to support funding through the appropriation cycle of Parliament.
