"a matter of good governance rather than legal duty."

You know what? Good Governance should be a legal duty. What the heck is this argument? Do folks who live in Toronto have to worry about not getting clean water because Canada has no legal obligation to provide it to them either?

In the case of Toronto presumably water is a municipal responsibility... Reserves are a federal responsibility though so you'd think they would be responsible here. The government has actually been putting in a ton of money on this issue and as the article says the number of boil water advisories is down by like 2/3 since the Liberals came to power. So also kinda weird argument by the justice department here.
