Bill Rees comments on Canada's water crisis

An article in the Vancouver Sun by Langara instructor Peter Prontzos quotes SCARP's Dr. William Rees' comments about Canada's worsening water crisis. Rees believes the government is shirking their duty to ensure citizens' safety and well being by ignoring our dwindling water supply for the sake of selling oil and hydro electric power.
