The amount of sewage and wastewater Canada discharges into its waterways is increasing. This is despite regulations introduced in 2012 to curb the problem. Concern is growing among those who fear for the health of Canadians and the environment. Each year, Canada discharges 200 billion liters of raw sewage into its waterways, rivers and oceans.

Yes, and pursue those directly responsible for damage to lakes and rivers
@9KC6XPW2mos2MO
Spend the $1 billion directly on restoring and protecting ... no more time and money on research when we know what needs to be done. For crying out loud. AND nail those responsible for damage to lakes and rivers.
@9JZP7TY2mos2MO
Government should help fund such projects with extreme transparency to the public and funding should be restricted to research done by Universities and or non-profit organizations
@9HW52K84mos4MO
No, and the government should permit corporations to dump toxic and/or harmful materials into large lakes and rivers.
@9GNXXXT6mos6MO
Yes. But, we should consult with provinces to tighten environmental protection and oversight to also protect our waters, as industry runoff and pollution cause a lot of problems.
@98DVC2K1yr1Y
yes and directly go after the ones responsible!
The government should seize the land in order to protect it.
@96JJRBT2yrs2Y
Yes, and we should spend as much as we need to.
@95YV2DZ2yrs2Y
Yes, and prioritize getting fresh, running water on Reservations
Yes, but also pursue those directly responsible for damage to lakes and rivers
@93WL6VF2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as personal property can still extend out into the waterfront.
@93B6FPP2yrs2Y
The budget is a bit high it needs to be researched on to find enough evidence to find who directly is responsible for the damage and fine them and use that money to find ways on protecting and maybe if possible repairing the state of the water
@937LMWD2yrs2Y
no, the one billion should be directed to enviromental rehabilitation
@936NX9Z2yrs2Y
Yes, and also care for clean water for the indigenous.
@92TPFLJ2yrs2Y
Yes, but the government should spend $5 billion dollars and prosecute those who pollute freshwater supply in Canada.
@92JJNYM2yrs2Y
Yes, but make all government financials transparent and publicly accessible.
Yes. And stop giving our water away to multinational corporations.
@8ZG7HYG2yrs2Y
Yes, also pursue those directly responsible for damage to lakes and rivers
Let provinces or Municipalities decide, lower the budget.
@8XJ8R6V2yrs2Y
Only if the money goes to the outlined cause
@8WVZ3PK2yrs2Y
Yes, but $1 billion may not be enough, more may be needed to be done to restore freshwater sources
@8VJLXVF3yrs3Y
They should provide more funding but $1 billion is too much.
@8VJK8HS3yrs3Y
No, stop spending money.
@8VJJTCF3yrs3Y
Yes, but use less money
@8VJHXRW3yrs3Y
Yes, but only within a balanced budget.
@8VJH8H83yrs3Y
Spend a lot of money on lakes, rivers, and solving water pollution. However, money is to be spent sporadically.
@8VJDC3H3yrs3Y
yes but probably not 1 billion
@8VJD4WQ3yrs3Y
Focus on the big lakes and rivers
@8VJD47Z3yrs3Y
This question is too vague.
@8VJBQ7G3yrs3Y
Yes, they should budget more than just $1 billion.
@8VJBN4W3yrs3Y
Yes, I don’t think one billion is needed. Less spending in this area.
@8VJ96VKConservative3yrs3Y
The Government should spend money on lakes and rivers, but less than $1 billion
@8VJ273Z3yrs3Y
Should spend over 1 billion.
@8VHXJVK3yrs3Y
Should be done but at a lower cost
@8VHVW983yrs3Y
Only where required to meet existing environmental laws
@8VHT2GHNew Democratic3yrs3Y
They should spend money on restoring the leaking and rivers and protect them but not spend 1 billion dollars on it
@8VHS9ZM3yrs3Y
To restore is correct, but how much is not definitly predicided, should be up to a max amount as needed.
@8VHR6X83yrs3Y
yes but not 1 billon more like 100 million
@8VHQTYD3yrs3Y
1 billion is a lot. Maybe not that much money but I agree that they should spend some money on the lakes and rivers
@8VHKVS93yrs3Y
They should put money into it but not $1 billion
@9CXZ9689mos9MO
I don’t think we need to do anything for our lakes and rivers.
