Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to present my first petition in this Parliament as the member for Simcoe North. This petition is from members in my community who are concerned about the ancient water deposits of the Simcoe uplands of Ontario's Tiny, Springwater and Oro-Medonte townships. This is water that sits underneath what is now the territory of Beausoleil First Nation. There is some proposed development of a gravel pit. The petitioners are asking the government to validate claims of this being some of the most pure and pristine water in the world. The petitioners also call on the government to work with the powers it has under the Canada Water Act to implement a study to confirm the validation of the claims of this water being pristine so that it may be preserved for many generations to come.
