I want this Conservative…

I want this Conservative government to impose a full Environmental Assessment on the policy of issuing permits to take water for the purposes of bottling so that there can be a full public discussion of water bottling by Nestle and other commercial bottling operations in Ontario.

Nestlé is wants to renew Aberfoyle and Hillsburgh permits to take water for bottling.

I want politicians to listen to people who are concerned about the environmental consequences, commodification of water, plastic waste, and deeply concerned about the disregard of Six Nations treaty rights of bottling Ontario’s water. In addition, the criteria set by the government for evaluating permits to take water does not assess the cumulative impact of water taking on underground aquifers.

The government's application and review process fails to adequately assess the consequences of Nestlé’s water taking.
