Mr. Speaker, I am proud to stand and bring forth this petition to the Minister of Natural Resources and the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans in regard to the situation of declining water levels in the Great Lakes Basin, particularly in the Lake Michigan, Georgian Bay, North Channel region.
Since 1999, water levels in Lake Huron have dropped pretty much five feet with no sign of rebounding 13 years later.
The petitioners are asking the government to examine this and to find ways to reverse the declining water levels in the Great Lakes.
