Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As I understand it, the proposed legislation would allow for the creation of regulations and the ability to bring into play provincial legislation that would provide a regulatory regime surrounding water on reserves for the first time. The concerns that were raised in our report were that once the bill gets passed and the regulations get written, the government is looking to have a phased-in approach under which they would also have to apply for funding to do it. So notwithstanding the great progress that's been made there, it looks like it could be many years before people in communities can expect those standards to be in place.
