The Canadian government intends to introduce two legislative instruments prior to the summer parliamentary recess, focusing on First Nations water access and the modernization of privacy regulations.

加拿大政府擬在議會夏季休會前推出兩項立法工具，重點關注原住民的用水問題與隱私法規的現代化。

The proposed legislation regarding water infrastructure on First Nation lands represents a successor to Bill C-61, a 2023 initiative developed under the Trudeau administration following a 2021 legal settlement. While Bill C-61 explicitly affirmed the human right to clean drinking water—a provision that encountered opposition from the provinces of Alberta and Ontario due to perceived threats to resource development—the current draft under Prime Minister Mark Carney modifies this language. The new text shifts from an explicit affirmation of a human right to a policy objective aimed at the 'progressive realization' of such rights, aligned with the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. This linguistic attenuation occurs despite prior assertions by Indigenous Services Minister Mandy Gull-Masty regarding the affirmation of these rights. Furthermore, reports indicate a lack of consultation with certain First Nations leaders, while Indigenous Services Canada maintains that 37 boil-water advisories persist across 36 communities.

關於原住民土地水務基礎設施的擬議立法，是 C-61 法案的繼任者。C-61 法案是 2023 年在杜魯多政府領導下，根據 2021 年的法律和解而推出的計畫。雖然 C-61 法案明確肯定擁有乾淨飲用水是一項人權——但此條款因被認為會威脅資源開發，而遭到亞伯塔省與安大略省的反對——但在現任總理馬克·卡尼領導下的草案中，修改了這些措辭。新文本將「明確肯定人權」改為一個旨在「逐步實現」此類權利的政策目標，以符合《經濟、社會及文化權利國際公約》。儘管原住民服務部長 Mandy Gull-Masty 先前聲稱會肯定這些權利，但措辭依然被弱化。此外，有報告指出部分原住民領袖未參與諮詢，而加拿大原住民服務部則表示，36 個社區仍存在 37 個煮沸水通知。

Concurrent with the water legislation, the administration has signaled the introduction of a third attempt to amend the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act. This legislative effort seeks to establish protections for the data of minors and implement prohibitions against the utilization of consumer data for surveillance pricing. This follows two previous unsuccessful attempts in 2020 and 2023 to update private-sector privacy frameworks.

與水務立法同時進行的是，政府暗示將第三次嘗試修訂《個人資訊保護與電子文件法》。此次立法努力旨在為未成年人的數據建立保護機制，並禁止利用消費者數據進行監控定價。此前在 2020 年與 2023 年曾兩次嘗試更新私營部門的隱私框架，但均未成功。

The government is proceeding with the introduction of these bills, although the timing suggests that substantive debate and enactment will be deferred until the autumn session.

政府正著手推出這些法案，但時間表顯示，實質性的辯論與通過將遞延至秋季議會會議。
