Why not simply ban bulk water removal?
Canada’s water is a precious resource that must be protected and that requires a comprehensive approach to the issue as a whole. The protection of Canada’s freshwater resources is not an economic or a trade issue, but is first and foremost an environmental conservation issue. The federal government’s three-part strategy to respond to bulk water removals is designed to prohibit the bulk removal of water whether for domestic purposes or for export from Canada’s major watersheds. The watershed approach is broadly recognized as the most effective way to protect the quality and quantity of our water resources.
