"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to mention the issue of drying up of rivers, which has also been mentioned by one of my colleagues. It is a reality that some of our rivers are drying up. I remember reading about the fact that what is causing this drying up of rivers is certain species of trees planted next to the rivers. Those species of trees suck a lot of water. I remember a while back there were regulations that were set up to block, or discourage, the planting of those trees. I do not think it has happened all over. In my region, for example, we still plant those very “water-thirsty” trees next to rivers. This continues to be a problem and we may need to see how to legislate to ensure that certain species of trees are completely banished and cannot be planted in our regions."
