Mr. Speaker, the government made an announcement in February that we were calling for an immediate moratorium on the withdrawal of bulk water from watersheds in this country. All provinces, with the exception of Quebec, agreed to the moratorium.
We said that we would be developing an accord with all of the provinces and territories in this country with regard to the withdrawal of bulk water from watersheds. We expect that we will achieve that. We will be amending the International Boundary Waters Treaty Act. We are going to develop with all of the provinces and territories a strategy to protect all freshwater as it exists in our freshwater basins.
