Feds to provide over $1.5 billion to end drinking water advisories on Indigenous reserves

The Canadian government will be providing more than $1.5 billion to “accelerate” lifting all long-term drinking water advisories on Indigenous reserves, announced Minister of Indigenous Services Marc Miller on Wednesday. He said this is a “long-term” commitment and does not have an exact time frame on when all advisories will end.
