Ottawa isn’t providing the support required to ensure that First Nations communities have permanent access to safe drinking water, according to a new report from the auditor general of Canada.
Indigenous Services Canada is not on track to meet its target to lift all long-term drinking water advisories on First Nations reserves by March 31, 2021, Auditor General Karen Hogan concluded on Thursday. Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller admitted to reporters in Ottawa last December that the target would not be met.

Although the federal government is making progress in improving drinking water in some First Nations communities, a number are only getting temporary solutions to their water issues that may leave them with unsafe water in the years to come, says a new audit released on Thursday.
The report, tabled in Parliament by federal auditor general Karen Hogan, states that in some cases, Indigenous Services Canada provided temporary measures to lift long-term advisories, but long-term solutions to address underlying issues with water systems were not being fully implemented and will take years to be complete.
