Of course, it varies by project, but they would have to apply to get a permit for the water they're going to use, or the effluent they're going to put back in downstream. What will the quality of that water be once it goes back in? The Government of Canada and the provincial governments already control that. Again, if first nations are also going to have laws and be applying permits.... These all work together. It is known that it's not, you know.... It's tripling the layers of bureaucracy.
We all want the same outcomes. We all want clean water. We all want it to be up to standard. However, I think it's about articulating very clearly what that standard is. Then industry can decide whether it's economic for them to meet it, and whether or not to go ahead with a project.
