First of all, I want to thank the Treaty 8 chiefs myself. I have met with them a number of times on water and on many other issues. In fact, I would agree that the Treaty 8 chiefs have often given me the history lessons that I need to understand not just Treaty 8 issues and historical experiences, but also, certainly, their experiences as communities that have been deeply affected by colonization. I acknowledge the leadership of Treaty 8.
What I would say is that the first nations water legislation has been a process of collaboration, not just with Treaty 8 but certainly with first nations through the AFN, a variety of different first nations deeply affected by boil water advisories who are the litigant group in this case, and many experts and advisers from first nations leadership roles, who have given us a sense of where the legislation should go.
I look forward to being able to table that in this House and to hearing the feedback from first nations. I know that the NDP, the Conservative members and the Liberal members will have thoughtful deliberations on that legislation with the intent of making sure that it's strong and reaches its goal of protecting water for first nations.
