<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">In this time
of economic uncertainty, this government is working to open new doors for
Canadian business. An economic agreement with the EU has the potential to give a
$12 billion boost to the Canadian economy and increase bilateral trade by over
20 percent. The Government of Canada will continue to work closely with all
provinces and territories and is pleased to have found a way to directly involve
them in the negotiations. <BR><BR>Canada and the EU had a positive and
productive second round of negotiations in January 2010. Canada is committed to
negotiating a comprehensive agreement that will open doors for business and help
create jobs. Provinces and territories are participating directly in
negotiations in areas that fall in whole or in part under their jurisdiction. We
will conduct our negotiations at the negotiating table, not in the pages of
newspapers and magazines.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P>We have reason to cheer and reason to worry.It’s good news that the federal
government, through Environment Minister Jim Prentice, promised municipalities
across the country to help upgrade local water delivery systems and rebuild more
than 25 per cent of our wastewater treatment infrastructure.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P>He made this commitment at last weekend’s Federation of Canadian
Municipalities conference in Toronto, in the face of new and stringent federal
regulations unveiled in March to protect our water supply. Some 1,000 municipal
waterworks need repairs or complete rebuilding to ensure safe and secure water
for residents.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P>The tenth anniversary last month of the Walkerton tragedy reminds us that
tainted water can still kill in our modern industrialized nation and that small
or large, municipal water systems must be safeguarded.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P>But while we cheer federal and municipal partnerships to improve water
delivery in our towns and cities, a more global threat to our water needs our
attention.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P>A Canadian trade lawyer is sounding the alarm that foreign companies would
gain access to our municipal water services – and maybe even our water – if the
free trade deal now being negotiated between Canada and the European Union
becomes a reality.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P>The EU apparently wants drinking water services to be included in trade
agreements, opening the door to multinational firms, Canadian Steve Shrybman
told the Vancouver-based advocacy group Centre for Civic
Governance.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P>He joins with other experts to warn that Canada should not sell its water
resources and should be very wary of signing trade agreements which might allow
international investment rules to trump locally owned or managed
waterworks.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P>The Council of Canadians is another nationalistic voice declaring that Europe
is “thirsty for Canadian water” and wants unlimited access to invest in our
water services.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P>Think that’s preposterous? Think 407! Our own Ontario government sold the
toll highway to a Spanish consortium – which promply raised the rates on every
driver using the road, and can continue to do so with impunity.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P>Why would we take all the small but vital steps through York Region’s Water
for Tomorrow campaign to save our water resources – such as buying low-flush
toilets and showerheads or rainbarrels – just to let a foreign company invest in
and assume partial control of our regional water systems?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P>Think of all the work done to improve the water quality in the Lake Simcoe
watershed and the cleanup over decades of our rivers that used to be dumping
grounds. Why would we let those hard-fought environmental projects go to
waste?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P>And if we think oil is the “gold” in the ground everyone wants today, water
is likely to be the resource other countries desperately want in
future.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P>Many Canadians believe we should retain firm control over our water and water
resources.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P>While we should be grateful our federal government understands it must help
local governments modernize and protect our water supply, we must also ensure
our MPs and federal negotiators know foreign companies should never have access
to or control of our water.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
