Clean Water Act debate for First Nations in House of Commons
Bow River MP Martin Shields urged urgent action on Bill C-61 to create a Clean Water Act for Indigenous communities. He traced water infrastructure efforts since 2001, noted vast spending but persistent boil water advisories, and pressed for meaningful consultations with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis across Canada. The debate highlighted consulting as essential, and the bill was referred to the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs.
