It is absolutely ridiculous that any company should be permitted to extract a vital and finite resource that belongs to all citizens of the province/country for little or nothing and sell it for a profit. Sources of fresh water are a dwindling resource which many feel will be worth more than oil in years to come. It is both foolhardy and unconscionable that any government should squander such a valuable commodity on the alter of corporate greed. You are, or should be, primarily in office to protect the welfare of the citizens you represent and resist any efforts by lobbyists to undermine their best interests. I implore you to oppose the attempts of Triton or any other corporate entity to extract what is in all probability the most valuable resource we have. We have been attempting for years to wean people off bottled water and to instead use the tap water that most communities are provided with and pay for. It is obviously counter-productive to those efforts as well. Do the right thing and protect the rights and the health of your constituents.
