There's monitoring happening today, following Canada drinking water guidelines. That's how short-term and long-term drinking water advisories become manifest. It's not that there's a lack of monitoring happening today. The framework is saying that the cost must consider a variety of things, including capital, operations, the monitoring for public health guidelines, governance and the actual costs, including comparative and substantive equality costs. It's the full envelope of essentially what first nations control as part of their water system.
The transmission and the testing at different locations aren't expressly considered here, but it is certainly part of the testing regimes that happen now from coast to coast to coast. It's less about proximity, then, and more about whether it is happening and whether those costs are covered, moving it from point A to point B. That's what this provision is speaking to. It's covering the cost for both a physical monitoring of that water and then the testing of that water, wherever it may be in Canada.
