The Government of Canada is currently discussing the possibility of using significant infrastructure investments to stimulate the economy. In response, the Forum for Leadership on Water (FLOW) along with the Canadian Water and Wastewater Association, the University of Victoria's POLIS project on Ecological Governance and the Alliance for Water Efficiency, has proposed a sustainable water infrastructure plan entitled, Clean Water, Green Jobs: A Stimulus Package for Sustainable Water Infrastructure Investments to the Federal Government. The plan contains solutions that can be deployed quickly and broadly, creating jobs and stimulating the economy faster than traditional infrastructure projects. It recommends investments be made in repairing and upgrading existing infrastructure, restoring green infrastructure, and conserving water and energy
Upon submitting the plan, the authors have requested the opportunity to meet key MPs from all parties to discuss how investing in sustainable water infrastructure can create jobs, save money and
protect the environment.
