As a life-long resident of Ontario, I find the current water bottling situation morally problematic. It takes groundwater resources out of natural environment and watersheds, produces horrendous plastic waste and is being done at a fraction of the fees that should be charged. Read more

Hello, I do not feel that companies like Nestle pay enough for the water that they sell. They should be charged significantly more even if it results in a drastic increase in the price of bottled water. Hopefully this will also help the public avoid one time use plastic water bottles. Thanks

I believe we need to protect our limited natural resources from being exploited. When water runs out the company pulling the water can simply leave, while an entire communities cannot easily. Let's have more control over our land and natural resources.

Why is the government wanting to provide which brings in a revenue of less than $.05c/litre. The corporation sells these bottles for 100 times of this cost. Moreover, this is damaging to the environment and tap water is already clean in one of the cleanest country in the world.

As a resident of Ontario, I am extremely concerned by the reckless commoditization of our precious natural resources. In the context of rapidly declining fresh water around the world, we in fact should be treating it with increased care. Read more

Water should be protected and not be taken by big conglomerates to be sold back to the populace. From the taking of water out of the ground and being bottled to be sold is a negative impact on the environment. I support extending the moratorium on new water bottling permits. Read more

I enthusiastically support an extension of the moratorium as described, as well as any possible expansion of its currently proposed scope. It should be of great concern to all in Ontario that corporations are able to take vast quantities of water from within our borders for the purpose of bottling. Read more
