What is Canada doing to address new and existing water quality problems in the Great Lakes?
In Canada the Great Lakes Action Plan 2000-2005 has been developed to co-ordinate the activities of the federal government, the government of Ontario and the actions taken in cooperation with the United States federal and state agencies. The framework for the Plan focuses on the restoration of the environment in Areas of Concern, the problems with exotic species and the root causes of many of the stresses on the environment and human health in the Great Lakes Basin.
