Well, we should definitely look at the last few reports of the Auditor General. They showed us how ignorant we are about water and how the federal government has not been doing its homework. While we don't know what's happening, we're allowing all kinds of projects that stand to have dramatic impact on our water resources. We talked about tar sands. We could be talking about shale gas development. I don't understand how we can do this. Obviously, oil and gas are important for the economic development of this country, but without water there's no life. It's as simple as that.
