- Carney pledged new drinking-water legislation in the spring, citing 38 active long-term boil-water advisories as of Oct. 15, including the Neskantaga First Nation's 30-year advisory.
- Some provincial chiefs were not invited to meet Prime Minister Carney, and ministers were pulled from the AFN agenda amid tensions, including criticism from officials.
- Leaders cautioned that vague co-ownership promises risk weakening previously proposed protections, warning the memorandum’s terms threaten protections in the C-61 clean water bill while communities suffering for water demand justice.
