Yonah Martin, British Columbia.

Good morning, minister.

One of the biggest issues that First Nations communities have grappled with and are grappling with is the inability to have their bylaws enforced. Can you explain how Bill C-45 attempts to address this concern for those communities that have signed on to the First Nations Fiscal Management Act?

That will be very important.

Another area of concern is clean drinking water. Given the Government of Canada’s direct obligation to ensure clean drinking water for Indigenous communities, and given the establishment of the FNII in Bill C-45, how can Canadians and, more importantly, Indigenous communities rest assured the federal government is not downloading that responsibility to the FNII?
