Under the Canada Water Act there used to be a fund for water management in Canada, called the Canada water fund, I believe. It was an important amount of money that could be distributed for water management across the country. I don't think there is any more funding available through that fund. Restoring something like that would be the first step.
If you are looking for specific numbers, the Green Budget Coalition has been putting together some numbers and some recommendations in terms of where we should start. They are trying to be reasonable. We would ask for more, if the situation were ideal, but we are trying to be reasonable in terms of what we think is the minimum amount that should be invested in water.
