moved for leave to introduce Bill C-410, an act to prohibit the export of water from Canada by pipeline, railway tank car, tank truck, tanker or interbasin transfers.
Mr. Speaker, this bill was introduced during the last session but died on the order paper due to the prorogation of parliament. I am reintroducing it today.
The bill provides a prohibition on exports of water from Canada by pipeline, railway tank car, tank truck, tanker or interbasin transfers.
Under this bill, water means surface or groundwater, but does not include water packaged as a beverage.
