The Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council issued a cease-and-desist order two years ago to stop Nestlé from taking water out of Ontario for bottling. By requesting a renewal of Nestle's permit, BlueTriton is ignoring Indigenous sovereignty.

Dozens of First Nations communities across Canada have not had access to safe drinking water for at least a year. Yet your government is allowing BlueTriton to pump clean water from Indigenous lands and bottle it for profit. Such actions give evidence to me that neither you nor your party are not committed to legislation and regulations which represent my values, and in fact, do not represent the values of the majority of Ontario citizens with whom I communicate. Only the Environmental Registry of Ontario's denial of BlueTriton's permit will convince me otherwise..
