Sherry said that no consideration will be given to lifting the moratorium until the water act and regulations are in place. The implementation of a water act will demonstrate government’s commitment to managing water resources in a sustainable manner for present and future generations,” said Environment Minister Janice Sherry in a news release. The development of a water act was one of the recommendations of the standing committee on agriculture, environment, energy and forestry.

Unfortunately, council has put us in a position where we have no alternative but to redirect our development efforts elsewhere. The potato industry has asked the province to lift a moratorium on high-capacity wells for irrigation that was put in place in 2002, and that has also been a subject of discussion at the standing committee.
