Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I must admit I'm surprised to see the Conservatives tabling this amendment today. We weren't expecting this debate. If we're going to do it, we need to take the time to do it properly. I don't think anyone is in favour of dumping sewage or untreated water into the river, into the ocean, into a river, or anywhere.
However, before we vote on this, I'd like to have a better idea of what concrete effect the adoption of this amendment would have in municipalities on a daily basis. I can see that it might have an effect, but I haven't had a chance to do an in-depth study of it.
Is there a legal expert who could shed some light on this?
