Comment
To the Ford government,
Clean, safe water is a basic human right. NOT a commodity to be bought and sold.
Your government’s proposal to allow Permits to Take Water to be transferred without a new application process is a dangerous rollback of essential safeguards. This change threatens public trust, environmental integrity, and the rights of First Nations.
I’m calling on you to:
- Withdraw the proposal to allow permit transfers without new applications
- Uphold Indigenous rights to consultation and consent
- Strengthen protections for Ontario’s water and ecosystems
- Ensure that water remains a public good
Stop the water grab.
