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
@B27F3VN3 days3D
Yes, but the $1 billion budget is too high, and the government should also actively pursue those directly responsible for damage to lakes and rivers so that they can cut the problem off at the roots and prevent future repeats of this spending.
@9ZNXRCY1mo1MO
Yes but significantly reduce the budget and also pursue those who are directly responsible for damage to lakes and rivers
@9SLJBJV4mos4MO
Yes, , but the price is too high for government funding. Have those responsible for the damage pay as well to exceed the $1 billion
@9MJ9RZF8mos8MO
no because if they do that they wont have neough money fi something like covid 19 comes again then tehy will amke nromal peolle pay alot of taxes.
@9MC4BQL8mos8MO
Yes but 1 billion sounds high. I'd have to compare to the budget and the allocation of the other funds.
@9KC6XPW10mos10MO
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.
@9JZP7TY11mos11MO
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
