I have limited time.

I'm actually a farmer, so I've paid into many drainage schemes and have been subject to many engineering reports that determine the benefit by landowner.

I'm wearing a Great Lakes pin here, which takes care of most of the water in the southern part of Ontario where crossings come. I believe the rain still falls on your tracks in Ontario and on neighbouring landowners' farms.

Is it your testimony that the neighbouring farmers and municipalities should pay for the upkeep of drainage? The water from your own drains must outlet into the Great Lakes at some point.
