From The National Post, article written by Ryan Tumilty, December 1st, 2021:
Canada still has 43 long-term drinking water advisories in 31 Indigenous communities across the country, down considerably from when the Liberals first came to office. But the government admitted last year it would not meet its initial promise to address all of the advisories in the first five years in office.
In those communities the water is either completely unsafe to drink or must be boiled before being used. Since the Liberals came to power they have lifted 119 advisories, but an additional 62 advisories have been added as existing plants encountered problems.
