Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  What I put in here is that an independent committee will need to be established—in consultation and co-operation with first nations governing bodies—and required to produce annual reports as the result of consultation and collaboration, as well as a five-year review report on the provisions and operation of the act.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  There are cases in Italy and other places that are in fact holding companies liable for the damage that they've done, or the climate disasters that will be coming our way. This bill doesn't touch any of that. In fact, it kind of strays from being very direct in that the liability for the damage and death caused by development is not in there.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I think the research that we've been exposed to anyway suggests that, again, epigenetics is being impacted. There are changes not only to female fish turning into male fish and male fish turning into females, but it's complicating genetics not just for aquatic life but also human life.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  My apologies, I didn't get any translation.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  It's on channel 1.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes, our community has been doing extensive work with all stakeholders, including just widespread community engagement, and they all want access to data. We've been developing sensors with our engineers. We have different teams working on tap water sensors, free chlorine as well as data from the Grand River.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  We worked with the Canadian water agency to look at ways to engage indigenous women. If you know anything about the new stamp that just came out honouring Josephine, women have been trying to have their voices heard regarding water for some time. They largely have not been at the table in their own communities, including me.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Okay. The concerns we have are the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation. Also, funding is not addressed in Bill C-61. To meaningfully support water infrastructure, funding is required for initial development and also for the ongoing management and training required to achieve long-lasting indigenous water sovereignty.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Skä•noñh. Sekoh. I'm honoured to be asked here today. I'm going to talk about the Ohneganos research team, which intentionally centres indigenous knowledge in women in addressing climate change and the water crisis we're currently experiencing, which is an increasingly recognized step by international organizations and bodies to build effective mitigation approaches to these crises.
