E-petition
Initiated by Eric Froese from Vancouver, British Columbia
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:
- The Government of Canada has failed to follow through on their promise of clean water on every Indigenous reserve by 2021;
- Clean and accessible water is essential for rural communities to reach their full economic and social potential; and
- Adequate freshwater conservation and monitoring policies are not being maintained.
We, the undersigned, concerned residents, call upon the House of Commons to please take immediate action to address this issue by:
1. Implementing strong freshwater conservation and monitoring policies that prioritize the health and well-being of Indigenous communities and their environment;
2. Regulating wastewater discharge into freshwater sources and holding corporations accountable for any violations; and
3. Taking steps to limit the exploitation of water resources by big corporations and ensuring that rural and marginalized communities have control over their water resources.
