A northwestern Ontario wants to see the federal government end its dependence on bottled water.
Thunder Bay-Superior North MP Bruce Hyer says he's found federal departments and agencies spent almost two-and-a-half million dollars on bottled water last year.
"Just at a time when we're supposed to be tightening our belts, paying more taxes, paying HST on a whole host of things, for the government to be wasting money in this manner is just totally unacceptable," says Hyer.
Hyer says the cost may be much higher as seven government departments and agencies stopped tracking how much they spent on bottled water.
