No.  Ottawa spent MILLIONS  on water for native reserves last year.  Some reserves have state of the art   ultraviolet  water purification systems that rival the international space station in technology.  It cost many millions of dollars to provide very expensive drinking water to  a few hundred people.  It isn't that Ottawa  is cheap, but we white people keep asking where does the money go.  However, we are consistently told to shut the F-up.  For example,  I expect this comment to be deleted by somebody in just such a fit of pique to keep this simple truth  silenced.
