Report
We are pleased to present to you our report on options for regulating water quality in First Nations communities.
We would like to acknowledge the valuable contributions of many individuals, organizations and communities to this report. The advice and suggestions they provided through the engagement process were very helpful in guiding us through our deliberations. We would also like to express our gratitude to the many public servants within the federal, provincial and territorial governments who assisted us.
We hope that our analysis will assist the federal government and its First Nations partners in crafting a regulatory strategy that will build on the traditional stewardship role of First Nations, both to improve water safety and to help preserve the quality of all waters in Canada.
