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!
