C24-P003 Sustainable Water Monitoring Act

Funding for Saskatchewan’s Global Water Futures Observatories will be made a permanent part of the Federal budget.

Funding will also be allocated on a permanent basis for a chosen or newly created Federal Institute to interface with the University’s data collection techniques to produce accessible information and reports.

The mandate of both organizations will be expanded to monitor all available fresh water sources in Canada, as well as producing accessible reports and policy recommendations for public and private agencies.

Said Federal Institute will include significant Indigenous membership, and will prohibit anyone with a history of being an executive or management from oil industries, mining or other polluting industries from holding executive roles in the Federal Institute.
