Water is a common, essential good. It should NOT be sold to a company for bottling and profit. Tap water is practically free and well monitored for safety. Each disposable plastic bottle consumes a third of its internal volume in oil.
Not only is depleting public aquifers endangering water availability for Ontarians, but the marketing and selling of bottled water, a useless product, is dangerous to
1. the climate ( green house emissionsvfrom fossil fuels),
2. the local environment (litter)
3. any organisms (that includes humans) that may ingest the microplastics resulting from the fragmentation of the bottles or the persistent chemicals that can leach into thevwater from the plastic bottle.

I urge you to DENY the permit to exctract water
