I am very concerned about this disregard for the fact this area has proven to have the cleanest water in the world and our government is considering approving this permit. I cannot imagine how the rest of the world would feel when they find out Ontario is abusing their resources in such an irresponsible way. Considering there are areas of the globe with no access to clean water to drink and as in Cape Town, there is no water, we as the people of Ontario must be vigilant in our conservation of our resources. In our modern world it is too easy to consume way too much water as well as in other ways. This area of Tiny must be protected from the pollution and abuse that threatens it. I have personally watched the water in Simcoe become so polluted I can no longer swim in the lake. And I am committed to protecting the water in Tiny from the same fate whether it is ground water or lake water. We must protect it or we risk damaging it for future generations. I am here to implore our government to refuse this permit and protect our cleanest water in the world be making it part of the green belt. I am also here to say we must protect our water and all our abundant resources in Canada or we risk losing it all for our children's children. We must stop this abuse now and stop the spread of consumerism starting with our water. Many measures have been put into place to reduce the amount of water the individual family uses, now it is the government's turn to put measures in place to stood this aggregate company from putting business and profit before the environment. Our earth must be considered first before all else. [Original Comment ID: 212877]
