Ensuring a stable, clean, sustainable water supply is vital to all. Therefore hearing of the proposals you've listed is encouraging. Please continue to protect our water, limit water takings and ensure that our drinking water sources are clean, safe and sustainable. Your commitment to these areas is vital:
*Ensure stringent water testing protocols for safety
*Sustainable water taking policies that ensure fair payment by corporations taking our water are long overdue
*Establish clear provincial priorities of water use to guide decisions where there are competing demands for water.
*Update the approach to managing water takings in water quantity-stressed areas.
*Make water taking data, including data the ministry collects from permitted water takers, more accessible to the public.
*Give host municipalities more input into water bottling decisions.
