I can attempt to field that question.
Heather, please feel welcome to add to my response.
Despite heavy reliance on groundwater as a potable water source, as I mentioned in my remarks, we have very limited capacity to understand our hydrogeological conditions here. Our groundwater program was formally established just 10 years ago, so it's very young. We've added a few staff, but we have a very small team. We very much rely on partnership with academics, federal government, first nations, municipal governments and consultants to advance our agenda.
However, we've had limited support on groundwater from the federal government to date. Because of hydrogeological capacity, as I understand it, the federal government is spread across multiple departments. There are hydrogeologists working in Environment and Climate Change Canada, NRCan and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. The CWA could play a role to help break down those silos and have those experts supporting people like us who need it.
As I mentioned, we receive considerable support from Environment and Climate Change Canada, in particular on surface water quality and quantity monitoring. However, there is no such support on the groundwater front, and that would be very welcome.
