Mr. Speaker, not only do I make that commitment today, but we made that commitment five years ago and we acted on it. Over the past five years, we have eliminated over 80 long-term boil water advisories that had gone on for decades. We continue to work very hard.
We recognize the May 2021 deadline is fast approaching. There have been slowdowns because of COVID, but because of that, we are doubling up on our efforts to try to ensure that all Canadians have access to safe drinking water, particularly in our first nations communities.
