Public Consultation on Water Management in Québec
On October 30, 1998, the
Bureau
d'audiences publiques sur l'environnement (BAPE) was directed by the
Minister of the Environment, Paul Bégin, to hold a public hearing on water
management in Québec.
The hearings were held in 1999 in every administrative region of Québec, and
the report from the consultation was made public on May 3, 2000. According to
Minister Bégin, the report provides a sound basis for a first water management
policy in Québec.
It was at the Symposium on Water Management in December 1977, that Premier
Lucien Bouchard laid down the principles that would guide the government in the
policy preparation process.
