Mr. Speaker, the Government of Canada recognizes the importance of clean water and its impacts on human health and the environment. We have taken action by committing over $2.3 billion for waste water infrastructure across Canada and by implementing new federal waste water regulations.
We are pleased to have committed over $250 million in funding to the capital regional district for a waste water treatment program. Once completed, this project will meet federal and provincial waste water treatment standards and help to protect human health and the environment.
