It's 2021 and many people in Canada's First Nations still do not have clean drinking water. The startling fact is laid bare in "Clean Water, Broken Promises," an extensive report from Concordia University's Institute of Investigative Journalism which brought together 70 students from 10 universities, professional journalists from six news outlets across Canada for two years of extensive reporting in a collaborative investigation. Two of the key members of the investigative team join "This Matters" to discuss the toll of the water crisis on generations of First Nations communities. Guests: Annie Burns-Pieper, former managing editor of the Institute of Investigative Journalism (IIJ) at Concordia University and Brittany Hobson, reporter at APTN News.
