I would say it's important to not lose sight of the fact that since 2015, 132 long-term drinking water advisories have been lifted and 219 were also lifted before they became long term. There's been a lot of work to address some of those crisis situations. Yes, some of the results are around 7,000 homes and 528 community buildings.
What is fundamentally a shift and a really important point to make is around the settlement. There are huge trust issues with the government and communities with respect to water, and rightfully so, after all these years.
What does the water settlement do? It allows us to, first of all, compensate. There's $1.5 billion to compensate those who have been harmed by long-term drinking advisories. We created a $400-million first nations economic and cultural restoration fund. There is a commitment to lifting the remaining long-term drinking water advisories. We now have a first nations advisory committee that will look at safe drinking water. We have a commitment to support first nations and their bylaws with respect to water. Six billion dollars in forward investment is committed under this settlement, so that gives certainty of longevity in terms of the government's commitment. Repealing the legislation is also part of what first nations have been asking for, which is to replace it with something that has more rigour and respects rights and long-term funding.
That's part of the success. I would say the final piece around success is around transformation. What the department is doing to get away from and out of the business of managing this asset by asset is investing in water authorities, water hubs and community tribal councils that are running the water services for communities. The government is stepping away from that by providing the funding. Part of the success is to transform the capacity in communities.
