First Nations leaders criticize Liberals' 'take it or leave it' approach to clean water legislation
By
Stuart Benson
Summary
First Nations leaders and parliamentarians criticize the Liberal government's approach to the First Nations Clean Water Act, arguing that from Bill C-5 to C-37, the government has failed to properly consult Indigenous communities and instead presents a 'take it or leave it' deal. Indigenous Services Minister Mandy Gull-Masty defends the legislation as designed to withstand legal challenges and 'stand the test of time,' but critics say this reflects a 'pick and choose' approach to the government's duty to consult First Nations.
