摘要

In early 1984, the government of the day commissioned an inquiry into federal water policy. Towards the end of 1985, the Pearse Commission's report, Currents of Change, was submitted to a new Minister of the Environment, Tom McMillan. Two years later the Mulroney cabinet approved a Federal Water Policy. The policy remains in place. To the authors of this important new book, that era represents the high point of federal engagement in water matters with today being the nadir. One of the authors of this book - Pentland - was a key insider in federal water policy development and writes with expert authority. The other author -Wood — is a distinguished environmental journalist who brings many case histories and a graceful style to the text. This review was written shortly after Agriculture Canada issued layoff notices to most of its staff members having professional training and experience in water, and as a hydrologically-moderate flood caused billions of dollars in damages in Calgary. These recent events certainly punctuate the authors' overall thesis.
