Canada’s Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller on announced on Friday that the federal government has settled two class-action lawsuits involving dirty drinking water in First Nations communities.

The proposed settlement agreement is worth nearly $8 billion and is still awaiting court approval.

Included in the agreement are the Neskantaga First Nation – which has Canada’s longest-running boil water advisory — and the Tataskweyak Cree Nation, which has been under a boil water advisory since 2017.

The minister also announced the creation of a first nations advisory committee on safe drinking water.
