The federal government is expanding the number of First Nations water systems that it vows will have clean drinking water by 2021.
On Tuesday, Indigenous Services minister Jane Philpott announced the government had identified another 24 long-term drinking water advisories on First Nations that weren’t previously supported by Indigenous Affairs.
It is now committing to support those systems, adding to the long list of First Nations drinking water advisories it needs to solve.
