Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for returning to have this discussion.
I'm going to start with Mr. Hudon.
I've sat on some committees. Prior to being elected federally, I sat on a few citizenship committees at the City of Guelph, where we were looking at our waste-water study, which eventually became a 50-year waste-water plan. We also looked at Guelph's water supply strategy. Water was part of our community energy initiative on how to reduce our water use per capita by 50% while we increased our population by 50%, because Guelph is fed by ground water. There is a limited capacity for water in Guelph.
Many people say that water is a governance issue. The Forum for Leadership on Water has provided us, as a municipality, with information to help with our governance in a municipal context, which then also has to connect to other levels of governance—provincial and national governance. We have the Ontario Water Works Association and Water Canada. It is a complex area.
Could you comment on water as a governance, and what we can do federally to try to help coordinate with agencies such as the one that you work with?
