I am very concerned about the push to allow companies to extract water from Canadian sources for bottling. Canada's water should not be for sale. As you know, I'm sure, plastic water bottles occupy a huge amount of space in our landfill sites. Water is needed for local and necessary reasons, eg. crops. We must keep our water to avoid food insecurity, and adequate sanitary conditions for healthy bodies and safe schools. The United States has been trying to exploit Canadian water since at least the sixties - I remember articles in the Globe and Mail to this effect, and brought them in to my grade ten Health classes for discussion. Climate change effects may be catastrophic - we should be thinking ahead.
I suggest a moratorium on permits for water extraction.
