I am very greatly concerned…

I am very greatly concerned about the potential of a 10 year "renewal" application from Triton Water Canada Holdings Inc. being approved. Do not approve this permit:

1. Bottled water businesses like this new business composed of two private equity firms based in the U.S. are often exposed as business that have no Canadian environmental consideration - their goal is profit: We know the toxic plastic that is left from single use plastics is horrendous appearing in our environment , the air we breathe and now even in human placenta. We do not need to consider this permit, and with what we know now, how our plastics waste problem is huge - it should not be considered for one moment.

2. Climate change is here and is changing our water table - we need to stop selling water to a US company for profit. Water is now more then ever a precious commodity for Ontario. Don't sell us - our homes, agriculture and future families needs -out for profit.

3. Clean water -drinking water is not always present in our native communities/yet this would be taking it off of traditional land at this time to give to another money making business with roots out of Canada.
Strengthen our laws (even more then you have done recently) regarding such permits. In fact ban all permits: The Blue Communities Project calls on communities to adopt a water commons framework by:

Recognizing water as a human right.
Promoting publicly financed, owned and operated water and wastewater services.
Banning the sale of bottled water in public facilities and at municipal events.
