My question is to Senator Canavan, the Minister representing the Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources. Will the Turnbull government commit to delivering the Murray-Darling Basin Plan in its entirety, including the additional 450 gigalitres of environmental water that will result in an overall 3,200 gigalitres recovered for the river? This is the minimum amount, shown by science, that is required to give the river a fighting chance, to keep the Murray River healthy and to ensure that in South Australia our agriculture and environment are protected.
