Do not approve this proposal! The Waterloo Region is facing a water capacity crisis. There is a development freeze in the area due to the inability to sustainably meet the water demand. Allowing ONE company to take MILLIONS of litres a day from an aquifer that cannot meet the demands of the growing population (population numbers that the province put on the region) is a direct threat to the lives of the people that live in Wilmont and the surrounding area. I am calling on the province to block this proposal, allow the Region of Waterloo to solve the capacity issue so the development freeze can end. After all, a long-term development freeze impacts the continued existence of the Region of Waterloo's billion-dollar construction industry that creates jobs, supports population growth, generates wealth, and supports other industries such as the tech and post-secondary education.
