The ministry has implemented its commitment to review and consider the policy. The ministry undertakes a wide range of activities designed to raise the profile of the importance of Lake Ontario (and all Great Lakes) as a source of drinking water through the Lake Ontario Partnership Working Group under the Canada-U.S. Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement and the Canada-Ontario Agreement on Great Lakes Water Quality and Ecosystem Health. The ministry will continue to report on the actions resulting from the review of the policy.

Policy Text:

To raise the profile of the importance of Lake Ontario as a source of drinking water for residents of Ontario and to encourage collaboration on protecting our shared drinking water sources, the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks is requested to reach out to Environment and Climate Change Canada, New York State, and United States government agencies to discuss the findings and policies arising from source protection planning.
