My bill was not aimed specifically at blocking exports. It was aimed at becoming a backstop.
In case, for example, the federal government pulls out of environmental assessment, which it seems to be doing, I wanted to make sure that if a province wanted to weaken its environmental assessment or wanted to lift its prohibitions on the transfer of water outside its borders, there would be a backstop. The federal government would step in and say that this is for Canada, this is for the good of Canadians, and we don't want mass quantities of water being diverted across provincial boundaries or into the United States.
