It's terrifying that the government is looking to remove laws that were written after the events of Walkerton, Ontario. One of Canada's most humiliating public health disasters. More than 2000 people were made sick, and six people died.
This is a first world country in the 21st century, where creating any risk of contaminated water is absurd.
People died. The laws were written for a reason. Victims of Walkerton's water still suffer to this day. To which the government has paid $72,000,000 in restitution.
This bill is nothing but a disaster for the environment and a dire threat to clean water that cities and people need to literally live and survive.
