I thank the minister. Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. In order to save the Lower Lakes we actually need fresh water released downstream. Why does the government continue to flatly refuse to purchase temporary water that is available on the market to save the Lower Lakes and get it through this 12-month period so that, when the government’s long-term plan does come into effect, it has something to save?
