The difficulty lies with the comparability of the data. Quebec is an expert on the quality of data on municipal waste water. It is much more stringent than what the federal regulations require. So we have quite a bit more granular data and metrics. Unfortunately, we are not yet able to make comparisons, but it would be extremely interesting for Quebeckers to know whether the quality of their water is average, or above or below average. When we compare ourselves to others, we tend to feel better.
