To begin with, the watershed issues related to oil sands are one element of what CEMA looks at. It's the one that I talked about, because that's my world. On the water management framework, that discussion began in one of the working groups of CEMA, but it was concluded by the provincial and federal governments working together.
The considerations as to what to look at in a water management framework include hydrology, biology, geomorphology, water quality, and connectivity.
To answer an earlier question of whether water quality was considered in developing phase one of the water management framework, I see now it was considered, but what they decided to do was focus on more of the hydrology aspects--that is, the volume and flow rate--as being the most significant areas of concern at this point.
In future, for phase two of the water management framework, other elements will be taken into consideration, and I can see now from what has been put in front of me that water quality will receive greater attention in that part of the framework.
