Brian Mason and Alberta's NDP will ensure our scarce water resources are managed to balance the needs of our economy and population and with the need to maintain environmental stability.
Liberals and Conservatives will continue to mismanage our water resources to the benefit of big business and to the detriment of our aquatic eco-systems.
We have to ensure that Alberta families have access to safe drinking water. We need a long term vision to ensure our water needs are balanced to meet the current and future demands of our families both now and for generations to come.

Liberals and Conservatives are failing to safeguard of our water supply
- Alberta's water supply has shrunk by over 20 percent in the last century. Global warming threatens Alberta's future supply of water.
- The current Water For Life policy is silent in terms of management and only states that a hierarchy must be put in place, but does not mandate a timeline or action.
- A comprehensive environmental review of our aquatic ecosystems still has not been done to ensure that current and future water allocations do not threaten the ecosystem.
Brian Mason and Alberta's NDP are on the side of proper water management
Alberta's NDP would do the following to preserve our water supply:
- Support a comprehensive water survey that documents total water availability in Alberta
- Implement a comprehensive wetlands protection plan
- Mandate commercial, industrial, agricultural and residential water conservation best practices.
