| Auditor General Petitioned on Devils Lake | 03 July 08 |
 Friends of the Earth Canada and the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce have joined together to petition the Auditor General of Canada to ensure Canadian politicians and officials protect Canadian waters against impacts associated with the Devils Lake Outlet.The Petition submitted June 12, 2008 calls for public disclosure by Canada's Ministers of the Environment and Foreign Affairs on matters agreed to by Canada and the US in the August 2005 Multi-layered Safeguard Agreement. In addition, officials are set to reissue a permit to continue operating the Devils Lake outlet with only a rudimentary gravel filter in place - that will allow unaltered operation of the outlet until 2013.
