My quick answer is that the federal government has a very distinct and strong role in dealing with water because it cross-cuts all of the many issues we talked about. The Canada water agency is one way to organize.
I believe the way the federal government has organized itself on water is insufficient for the challenges ahead, so I am supportive of organizing themselves to be successful, which means dealing with water as it shows up as a local problem. However, using this top-down and bottom-up approach so that we are....You can't have businesses and technology if the water isn't in a healthy state, and the Canada water agency will be one of the few institutions that can have that national perspective to say, “Where are the priorities? Where do we start?”
