It is time to stop allowing companies to take Ontario water for the purpose of bottling it and selling it back to the public for profit. Nestlé has been doing this for years and has now sold its Canadian interests to a new company that expects to carry on with business as usual. Please do not give BlueTriton Water a permit to continue this practice. Given the effects of climate change, Ontario water can no longer be considered a reliable renewable resource in all parts of the province. Dryer springs result in less groundwater recharge and problems with wells. With water aquisition passing from Nestlé to BlueTriton, this is the perfect time to review the commercial agreement and set new standards. Please put the needs of Canadians for a reliable source of safe, clean drinking water before the desires of shareholders of BlueTriton to make a profit.
