End boil-water advisories within five years for 93 communities on First Nations reserves currently affected by poor water quality.

Why some First Nations still don’t have clean drinking water — despite Trudeau’s promise

Global News October 03, 2019

During the 2015 election campaign, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau promised to eliminate all long-term water advisories on First Nations by March 2021.

Many Indigenous communities have gone for years and years without clean drinking water — living, as one woman put it, “in Third-World conditions in a First-World country.”

With 17 months left on the clock, Trudeau’s government has nearly halved the number of long-term advisories — those in place for a year or longer — from 105 down to 56, according to government data.

Although it looks unlikely that all advisories will be lifted by March 2021 (less than half of the advisories have been lifted over the course of almost four years), it is still in progress as its original timeline was clearly stated to be "within five years".
