B-012: THE WATER CRISIS ACT, 1674

[Alfonso Velez]

Madam Speaker,

This bill sets out important measures to address both the short-term and long-term challenges that have resulted in the water crisis--and to take meaningful steps to address the symptoms of this crisis so that it never occurs again. I commend my honourable friend, the Secretary of the Interior, for his excellent work in drafting this bill. This bill represents an important step forward by the Government to address this critical crisis, and I encourage all members of Parliament to lend support to this vital legislation.
