1. The navigation of the River Ottawa, as well by vessels and boats as by rafts and cribs of timber or logs, is hereby declared to be subject to the exclusive legislative authority of the Parliament of Canada, and all canals or other cuttings for facilitating such navigation, and all dams, slides, piers, booms, embankments and other works of what kind or nature soever in the channel or waters of the said River, or in which the waters of the said River are used, and in whatever Province situate, and whether constructed or to be constructed, and whether constructed by the Government of Canada or by the Government of the late Province of Ca ...[+++]nada, or by the Government of Upper or of Lower Canada, or by any private party by the consent and authority of any of the said Governments, which shall, from time to time, be recognized by the Governor in Council, on the report of the Minister of Public Works and Government Services, as being or as having been, constructed for any purpose of public utility, shall be held to be works for the general advantage of Canada, and, with all works of like character, no matter by whom constructed and whether recognized as being for the general advantage or not, situate in or on the waters of the said River, shall be subject to the exclusive legislative authority of the Parliament of Canada, and shall be under the control and management of the Department of Public Works and Government Services, and subject to the provisions of the Act, intituled, “Department of Public Works and Government Services Act”.

Many in the United States, including the Secretary of Energy, have made the point in the past that renewable energy cannot be large-scale hydro. Because of its level of aquatic ecosystem impacts, large-scale hydro is not like run-of-the-river, small- scale hydro, which does not create dams and diversions, or wind or solar.

The board decided to pursue the following five themes: a tax and investment sharing template for municipalities; to initiate land use planning, using geographic information systems, GIS, and Global Positioning Systems, GPS, as key tools; sharing of regional water technicians for small urban municipalities, which have a hard time funding those services; a river valley management group for the South Saskatchewan River below Meewasin Valley, basically between Saskatoon and Gardiner Dam; a focus on urban development on Lake Diefenbaker, particularly Danielson Park at the head of the dam.

Let no one be in any doubt; I do not intend to give in to demagogy: my country’s government and local authorities are not responsible for the rains that fell, but they do have a responsibility from which they cannot shy away. They must show greater rigour in regional planning and greater resistance to urban speculation, they must refuse permission to build in areas at risk from flooding and establish better management of river beds and dam outlets.
