Mr. Speaker, throughout the pandemic, we have heard the very sound public health advice that we need to wash our hands. In a second wave, this is all the more important. However, for so many indigenous communities, there is no access to clean drinking water. They simply cannot drink that water or even use that water to wash their hands.
In the throne speech, the Liberal government mentions nothing about its 2021 deadline. In a time like this, with the technology that we have, there is no excuse for every community in our country to not have access to clean drinking water.
Will the Prime Minister commit to basic human rights and ensure that every indigenous community in Canada has clean drinking water?
