Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The report discussed in the textbook states that Canadian water and waste management are overseen by provincial and territorial governments, whose regulations do not apply to reserves. This leads to many Indigenous communities lacking access to clean and safe drinking water, and being under drinking water advisories. Therefore, option D reflects the issue of water on reserves. Option A is incorrect as the report states that Indigenous communities are more likely to lack running water than other communities. Option B is also incorrect as there are currently more than a dozen Indigenous communities under a drinking water advisory. Option C is incorrect as building new treatment plants does not guarantee access to clean drinking water, and there are other factors such as infrastructure maintenance and funding that affect the delivery of clean drinking water to Indigenous communities.
