One of the points we've made to the Government of Quebec is the importance of collecting more data on water use in Quebec, as is the case in most countries. The Minister of the Environment would then have the figures needed to determine more easily who he could require to reduce water consumption in the event of a water shortage.
For example, if it could be predicted that some regions of Canada would experience a drought next summer, it could also be predicted that there would be a water shortage. What we don't want is for the cities downstream of the waterways to experience water stress. You have to go all the way up the water basin to determine who are the heavy water users who are able to reduce their water consumption to ensure water supply for the cities downstream and who are suffering the consequences of water contamination and water shortages.
