Maybe I'll start.
Any kind of operation, be it water, waste water, or something else, needs some kind of standard against which to be measured. Certainly from the discussions I've had with Ontario first nation leadership, nobody has a concern about having regulations or having standards. The issues are around how it's implemented and how it's resourced.
You were mentioning about people who can't pass a test. In Ontario we use the provincial testing system for first nations operators, a decision made by the leadership. It seems to work. Yes, some people fell by the way as a result of that, but it's given us at least some degree of confidence. Unfortunately, it also means they go to the neighbouring municipality at $10 an hour or more, but that's life.
