It is time to go beyond a simple moratorium on permits for bottled water. With water being a treasured resource of Canada and with ever increasing pollution by plastic water bottles it is time for the Ontario government to start the process to discourage and even shut these bottling plants down. The bottling companies involved make obscene profits and offer very little in return to our province.
There is opportunity to discourage the water bottlers by increasing the per million litre price to 50 cents to $1.00 PER LITRE or to a price point the public would make a fuss if the bottlers passed it on to the consumer.
With the bottlers taking 7.6 million litres a day (CBC) that could be a windfall for Ontario: $235 million per month would certainly help retire the debt. I am sure the government could find a way.
