I think that we need to give more opportunities, especially paid opportunities. I had to work 11 unpaid internships during my undergrad and postgraduate degrees. Too often we link water with climate, and they can become subcommittees.
The Groundwater Youth Network, for example, is doing amazing things with the UN. I spoke at the UN last year with them, but we need a Canadian earpiece for that as well.
Also, there are many students who are currently in water programs across Canada, and they are not being given apt opportunity to start working, so that first step should be created for them. The agency is one way to do this by introducing a host of new careers and young professionals into government and water policy in general.
