I am writing to strongly oppose Triton Water Holdings Canada Inc. application for a 10 year extension to the permit which Nestle was (unfortunately) given to extract water from the aquifers in Ontario. Water is a fundamental human right, and not only does the taking of water deprive the area residents of much needed water by draining the aquifer, it is my understanding that the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council issued a cease-and-desist order two years ago to stop Nestlé from taking the water at Aberfoyle. (Guelph today). I am also appalled that in April " a years-long moratorium on water taking permits in the province ended Thursday, one day after the closing of the sale of Nestle Water North America, which includes the plant in nearby Aberfoyle, was announced." Clean water should not be seen as luxury to which those who can afford it have access, in order for corporations to make large profits. I strongly oppose Triton's application and believe that its request for a permit must be denied for the benefit of all people living in the areas on Six Nations Treaty land, including Aberfoyle, Middlebrook, Elora etc.
