Justice O’Connor supported the Sustainable Water and Sewage Systems Act. Throughout his report, he considered the difficulties of appropriately financing water systems. He concluded that, if the Sustainable Water and Sewage Systems Act were passed into law, it would address many of the important issues concerning the financing of water systems in Ontario. He further recommended that municipalities submit plans as a condition for obtaining a licence to operate a water treatment plant. This recommendation is reflected in Part V of the Safe Drinking Water Act, which cross-references the Sustainable Water and Sewage Systems Act. To read Justice O’Connor’s recommendations on financing water systems, see The Report of the Walkerton Commission of Inquiry, Part Two, Chapter 10, “The Role of Municipal Governments” at: www.attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.
