Law to Create a Plan for Canada's Fresh Water

Canada's Fresh Water Plan

Introduced Dec 16, 2021
Summary

This proposed law, put forward by Lindsay Mathyssen, is about creating a national plan for fresh water. It focuses on protecting Canada's lakes and rivers. The plan would look at how to keep our water clean and make sure everyone can access it. If this proposed law passes, the Canadian government would have to develop this national water strategy. This would affect all Canadians, especially those who rely on fresh water sources for drinking, farming, or recreation. It would also impact businesses that use water. This proposed law is important because fresh water is essential for life. A national plan could help Canada manage its water resources better. This could protect our environment and ensure a sustainable water supply for future generations.
