I think we have to do both. For example, we have very little understanding of groundwater mapping and aquifers. In the United States, the Ogallala Aquifer spans four or five states. I would suggest that we have the same situation in Canada. Once our groundwater mapping is done, we'll know the extent of the situation. We need to do this in the Mackenzie River Basin and in Quebec. Wherever there's a watershed, we need to have the ability to manage it.
But we also need some common standards. When we deal with provincial transboundary issues, we need the federal government to play a leadership role in bringing the jurisdictions together. When we deal with transboundary issues with the United States—and water is going to be increasingly important for both countries—then we are going to need to have a national presence.
I recognize the concern of Quebec, but when it comes to water, no jurisdiction is an island unto itself. That water moves. The water doesn't recognize political boundaries. It comes from the sky. It comes from upstream. It comes from the groundwater. We have to work out ways to manage that resource as a country.
