I do not support to essentially give away our water to a multi billion dollar corporation so they can sell it back to us at a massive profit. If Nestle needs our water so bad they make them pay for it! Seriously pay for it, don't give it away! Read more

I was alarmed to learn today that Nestle pays almost nothing for the water that it withdraws here for bottling and sale. Why is this? Why can't the government charge a sensible rate for commercial use of our water - or do we exist for these businesses' benefit?

The price for any extensions or renewal of bulk bottled water should increase at least by a magnitude of 10. Only if plastic bottled water is expensive enough will people stop buying it and the proliferation of one-use plastic is destroying our environment. Read more

I support the extension of the moratorium on new and expanded water taking permits. Water is a common and should not be sold as a commodity. Water is a basic human right necessary to survive and should not be sold. Read more

Natural water sources are under extreme pressure from increased use and climate change. Commercial enterprises that exert additional pressure on these systems is not sustainable, and is not in the interest of the people, wildlife, and conservation efforts of Ontario.

Time is running out. The moratorium on new permits for water bottling is set to expire at the end of this year. The Ontario government implemented the ban so that research on Ontario’s groundwater could be completed and the province could make sure our ground water is being managed sustainably. Read more
