The primary country leaders need to drink ingesting water invoice inside 100 days of the go back of Parliament.

The first nation leader is urging Prime Minister Mark Karney to deal with the major priorities of a number in the first 100 days of the new Parliament of Canada.

“All these priorities are in line with the priorities mentioned by Prime Minister Carney, that is, progress on economic growth, housing, infrastructure and reconciliation,” Sen Paul Prosper, who represents Nova Scotia, said in Ottawa on Monday.

The requests of Prosper are supported by heads in the assembly of Nova Scotia and First Nations (AFN) national head Sindi Woodhouse, who appeared at the news conference by video.

Referring to a generous slogan from the previous election campaign, Woodhouse said, “Canada Strong cannot succeed in this beautiful country without full participation of the people of the first nation.”

The new session of Parliament begins on 26 May.

Leaders say that they want the newly elected federal government to settled the disputes of outstanding land claims and invest in indigenous prosperity by starting the law which will increase financing for indigenous projects.

Prosper also wants the federal government to invest in indigenous-novel housing projects-leaders say that indigenous people make only five percent of people in Canada, but 35 percent is accounting for the homeless population.

When Carney underlined his housing scheme during the campaign, he said that his government would provide $ 6 billion in the grant, which would quickly be laid for the construction of “deeply affordable housing, assistant housing, indigenous houses and shelters”.

Carney told AFN In the end of April, he will help in the initiative of financing and to date will bring infrastructure to indigenous communities. He also said that he is committed to the implementation of the United Nations declaration on the rights of indigenous people.

The leaders of the first nation also want indigenous service to attack agreements to pay disability and share information with MI’KMAW heads of Canada Nova Scotia.

Calling the standards of drinking water in law

In December 2023, indigenous service minister Patty Hazdu started Bill C -61, establishing drinking water standards in the first nation communities.

The law protected fresh water sources, created minimum national drinking water and waste water standards and gave permanent money to maintain water quality.

It promised to lay the foundation for a new first nation-led Water Institute to support communities-first the Nation Water Commission.

The bill failed to make it through Parliament and the first nation leaders want the bill, or the equivalent law, the House of Commons was re -presented.

Carney Told AFN He will do so, as well as work towards a governance model that will ensure that the first nation can maintain and develop its infrastructure.
