Federal government falling behind on clean water, emergency services for First Nations, A-G says

Indigenous Services Canada is falling far behind on its efforts to address long-standing health and infrastructure problems in First Nations communities, the federal Auditor-General says.

In a report released today, Auditor-General Karen Hogan says that despite an 84 per cent increase in spending since 2019, Indigenous Services Canada continues to struggle to expand access to clean drinking water and emergency services in First Nations communities.
