Agree. Systemic failure. Sure, state govt shoulders bulk of responsibility, but federal agencies not blameless. Same company was fined paltry sum few months ago but was fined nonetheless, so how did multiple agencies fail to monitor. In fact why let it continue to operate?

Need to stop treating water issue like a political football. 1.2 million affected. Households, businesses. Costs are huge. Public not currently interested in who is to blame. Need agencies both federal and state to act differently. (2/n)

1) enforcement overhaul. If need be, set up permanent committee comprising state and federal agencies. Co chaired by MB and Environment & Water Minister. Meet monthly. If issue arises these two answer to the public together as crisis team. No political point scoring. (3/n)

2) full force of existing laws. Derek Fernandez proposals show what could be done. Jail time, asset seizure etc. 3) amend law to explicitly facilitate class action suit. A million potential claimants. Sure bankrupt. That might make em think twice about flouting regulations (4/4)
