We live in a wonderful community that is going to undergo substantial growth over the next few years. There is concern about this growth, the planning and development.

l do not think any more permits for extracting water should be allowed. lt opens the door for foreign company's to come in and export all our water, to the detriment of Canadian citizens.
I strongly support extending the moratorium on water bottling permits. Furthermore, there should be no permits increased, and no new permits issued, ever again.

The Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario (APGO) does not take a position on the extension of the moratorium for long term water takings for bottled water, however, remains concerned that the inclusion of pumping tests within the moratorium is counter to the principle of scientific-ba

It is encouraging that the government is reviewing water bottling permits. However, allowing current permits to continue to take water will not help protect our water.

I think there should be NO new permits to take water in Ontario, and existing bottlers should have their permits reviewed and wound down on a timeline that allows their employees to reenter the workforce. Bottled water is only essential in emergencies.

Please implement a longer than one-year ban on water taking from Ontario sources. Industry pays pennies on the dollar for taking non-renewable water resources from the ground, and most often it is rural Ontario communities that are disproportionately affected.

I believe that it is critical that we preserve our natural water resources.
It is not in our best interest to sell water commercially and participate in the damaging practice of bottling water commercially.
Government policy should clearly provide communities priority access to groundwater. As the proposal correctly points out, the demands on Ontario's ground water is growing and access to clean water is absolutely critical for living.

We must stop these large corporations from taking our water from it's source. We must put an end to bottled water and the pollution it leaves behind. Put the environment before the corporate profit.
Corporations have no right to profit from our ground water and strap us with the cost of recycling and such.
Please make it mandatory to have filtered water fountains that are easily accessible in all public spaces e.g. food courts in malls etc.

Please extend the current moratorium on new or increasing permits to take groundwater to produce bottled water. These companies are making profits at our expense.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed extension of the moratorium on water bottling permits. Access to safe and sustainable water is vital to the health and wellbeing of Ontarians.

I believe that the government should stop renewing permits to nestle until they look into the research that nestle is taking all the water while the people on that land don't even have clean water for drinking.
There is no reason to provide water bottling permits. These unnecessarily use up an important resource and encourage the introduction of plastics into the environment.
Private companies should not be profiting from a necessary public resource. One-use plastics need to be abolished.
