Unfortunately the export of water will only benefit the megacorporations that already has control like Nestle.
It's difficult to imagine Canadians who are already experiencing localized and frequent drought conditions to export what limited supply we have.
One method that might encourage Canadians to consider exporting water is an agreement that ALL profits will be shared to low and middle income class Canadians as we all know that capitalistic systems are highly unsustainable and are immensely toxic for anyone involved.
Some water company bought land in Colorado, pumped as much water as they wanted, lowered the level of the aquifer significantly enough to cause local wells to run dry for years, and it was perfectly legal for the company to do that. We need protections to prevent similar stories in Canada. Not just people but many local or even distant ecosystems depend on our aquifers.
We already have that problem. Look at Nestle being allowed to pump water when there was a drought and how cheap water is for them.
