In 2007, the Environmental Goals and Sustainable Prosperity Act (EGSPA) was passed unanimously by all political parties in the Nova Scotia Legislature. EGSPA sets Nova Scotia on a course to be a world leader by having one of the cleanest and most sustainable environments by 2020. It brings together key government objectives to improve air, land and water quality and to address climate change. The development of a comprehensive water resource management strategy by 2010 is one of those targets. In early 2008, Nova Scotia Environment released a discussion paper called Towards a Water Resource Management Strategy for Nova Scotia which formed the basis for 14 public consultation sessions around the province regarding the content of the Water Resource Management Strategy. The results of these public consultation sessions were compiled in a summary document called What We Heard: A Public Feedback Report. This report contains the original, verbatim comments submitted by members of the public during these public consultations. Codes are provided to identify submissions from Individuals, Associations or Organizations, Businesses, Professionals, Municipalities, and Others.
