I support the extension of this moratorium. It is foolish to squander our precious freshwater resources in the name of (minor) short term profit. Granting permits to bottled water companies directly contradicts the precautionary principle. Facing impending climate change effects, our province's abundant freshwater resources may become more precarious. Ideally, water extraction practices in Ontario should be halted entirely. Not only is it in the best interest of citizens for generations to come, but practice also supports an industry producing inordinate quantities of plastic waste.
