First Nations leaders in Canada are advocating for critical reforms in two major areas: clean drinking water and child welfare services. The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) national chief is urging all political parties to support legislation that would establish drinking water standards on reserves, addressing over 30 long-standing boil water advisories. Additionally, Ontario First Nations have endorsed a $47.8 billion deal to reform the federal child and family services program, with a national vote on the issue expected soon. These efforts reflect a broader push for systemic change to improve living conditions and services for Indigenous communities across the country.

It's about time Canada steps up and addresses these basic human rights issues. Clean water and proper child welfare services should be the bare minimum for First Nations communities—this is long overdue!
