The moratorium on permits to sell Ontario's water should be permanent. Ontario's fresh water must be preserved for the people and communities of Ontario.
Please continue to protect our water. Don't be bought out. It isn't all about the money. Quality of life for the people dependant on clean water who live in these areas is far more important.
I support extending the moratorium because it's essential to be very careful with our groundwater. Allowing it to be used for bottled water has many negative implications for our communities that need to be prioritized over what businesses want.
We should extend the moratorium on water bottling permits indefinitely. We need to protect our drinking water for generations to come. Why should we give international corporations that are not willing to adapt their packaging (i.e. plastic water bottles) to an environmentally friendly option?

Thank you for proposing to extend the moratorium on using groundwater to produce bottled water. I strongly recommend that bottled water production be banned entirely given the disastrous environmental impact of plastics to marine life.
This comment is in reference to ERO No. 019-0913 the proposal to extend the moratorium on water bottling permits, to private companies, such as Nestle, et al.

The Nestle company has enjoyed our water for several years now and they are getting greedy. We need to make sure that they no longer have unfettered access to our water for bottling purposes.

The water extraction companies should be required to use containers no smaller than 4 litres which are reusable and recyclable. Containers smaller than that MUST be reusable and recyclable. Throw aways must be banned entirely.
As a citizen of Ontario, I fully agree with extending the moratorium on water indefinitely. Water should be a right, particularly to marginalized groups, communities and individuals.

I’m a bit confused as to to why there isn’t a health or food security set of considerations here, or thought placed towards the long term maintenance of public order. It is projected that there will be at least tens of millions, up to 1.5 billion climate refugees worldwide over the next 30 years.

Ontario needs to have modern water taking policies that prioritize Ontario’s groundwater for communities and safeguards water quantity for generations to come. I 100% support the proposal to extend the current moratorium on water bottling permits.
I support the proposed moratorium on water taking permits until late 2020 and further. The profits that these plastic bottle companies make on water needed for survival and no accountability for the plastic waste are obscene.
As a government you have been given the privledge of representing what your constituents have elected you to do.Climate change is recking havoc on our planet in an alarmingly rapid rate.

I believe that it is extremely important to control the amount of water theses water bottling companies take. I even wonder if it should be allowed at all. I carry my water bottle with me every where and I fill it with my water. I refuse to buy their products.
