Deep Water Wells: Agree or Disagree

11/25/2014

0 Comments

 
Agriculture Minister George Webster says he’s all for the “careful expansion” of irrigation needs for the province’s potato crop.

The admission came during Webster’s luncheon address to potato growers during the annual meeting of the P.E.I. Potato Board Friday.

Farmers have been requesting the current moratorium on deep-water wells be lifted to allow for greater irrigation opportunities. Last week, government announced it would not lift the deep-water well moratorium until a provincial water act is in place.

“I believe we can carefully expand the current level of irrigation and I will be promoting that position,” said Webster.

“It makes sense for our production to have irrigation available for a portion of crop . . . not all of the potato production needs irrigation, but the needs of our customers require that we supply the quality and quantity of potatoes they are accustomed to.”

The minister said the government will proceed with public discussions leading to the development of a water act with one goal being the opportunity for some farmers to access deep-water wells for irrigation purposes.

“Protecting the quality and quantity of water available is a priority and as farmers we know all too well the importance of adequate supplies of water for a quality crop.”

What do you think. Is it time to change our policy in deep water wells?

The Fall session of the Legislature will resume on November 12 at 2 p.m. with the Speech from the Throne. “We will be building on the progress that’s been made by this Government on education, the environment, economic development and providing integrated health support to all Islanders,” said Premier Robert Ghiz. “While I’m pleased with the progress that’s been made to date, we understand there’s more work to be done to ensure this Island and it’s citizens are well supported for generations to come.”

Almost 30 pieces of legislation will be tabled, including the following:

• Environmental Protection Act
• School Act
• Teachers’ Superannuation Act
• Fisheries Act
• Highway Traffic Act
• Animal Care Act

“We’re looking forward to protecting the interests of all Islanders and making PEI an even greater place to live, work and raise a family,” said Government House leader Sonny Gallant. “I’d like to take this opportunity to remind citizens that House proceedings are open to the public and encourage people to get involved and watch.”

Visitors to the public gallery can follow on Tuesday and Thursday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Wednesday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Full proceedings are broadcast live on the Internet at www.assembly.pe.ca and on Eastlink television.
