Despite his government not setting a new deadline, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he remains committed to ending all long-term drinking water advisories on First Nations.
Speaking to a virtual gathering of chiefs with the Assembly of First Nations, Trudeau agreed it is unacceptable that some communities are still waiting for clean water.
He says there is a project team working to bring an end to each of the remaining advisories. Before becoming prime minister in 2015, Trudeau had promised to end all long-term drinking water advisories by March 2021, which didn't happen.
