We think we still have some of the best water in the world, and we want to keep it that way. It's important for us to get our thinking clear and have these agreements. The world is becoming.... There is a lot of activity to the south of us, as Mr. Bevington pointed out. The Canada Water Act is an important piece and the NWT Water Act is our own territorial legislation.
We need to push all the parties, including the federal government, to keep paying very close attention to water.
As I pointed out in my closing comments, the issue of water and energy are inextricably linked, not to mention that there is the dramatic impact of climate change and global warming. We're in year four of a record-breaking drought up here. We had an incredible fire season last year and we are anticipating another one. We burned an area bigger than Belgium last year, so water is very important. The Water Act has to keep up with the times. We have to start talking nationally about this.
