 | | Therefore, the government intends to create the necessary instruments so that they may give precedence, in the event of conflict, to the fundamental right of individuals to access this resource for their basic needs. |
 | | To this end, within an integrated management approach, the government of Québec recently appointed a Minister of State for the Environment and Water, whose primary role is to ensure consistency among all government actions related to water and aquatic ecosystems, in collaboration with the ministers involved in water management. |
 | | The government of Québec has determined four courses of action as the means for fulfilling this commitment, namely: intensifying agricultural clean-up efforts, broadening industrial clean-up efforts, supplementing municipal clean-up efforts, ensuring the sustainability of municipal infrastructures and improving their water services management. |
