This is a tax that goes to the actual improvement of water quality as well as Great Lakes environment.  About half of Canada's population accesses this water supply as well as millions of Americans.  I have witnessed the harm pollution has caused these lakes as well as the improvement to correct these problems throughout my lifetime.  I am also well aware of the rest of Canada and that we are lucky enough to have the world's largest sources of fresh water- our greatest resource, which can become finite without appropriate management, which costs money.
