Well, I think what you've described is reality. Stuff happens. Just ask Montreal. There are a million people under a boil water advisory because of problems that hit there yesterday. That's the nature of trying to provide safe drinking water. And I repeat, there is no legislation federally or provincially that can anticipate and deal with all those things. The most you can expect to have happen is to put in place a process, a framework that can build capacity so that the people on the ground are able to deal with the real problems. That starts with them understanding what the challenges to their system are and what the capacities of their system are, and working towards fixing the things that will allow them to deal with problems.
It needs to be a bottom-up approach. I would really encourage you to have a look at what Alberta has done by adopting a requirement for water safety plans. This didn't come from the top. This came from a few experienced people within the department who were aware of what actually was going on in Scotland, where they had a lot of similarities to us, and how effective the drinking water safety plan was. They brought this in to the regulatory structure. It's not a panacea. It's going to take years for it to have all the benefits that it can have, but it's a useful start.
