6. What economic impact (value) does the resource have on Canada

The economic impact that freshwater has on Canada is that we have a lot of freshwater, and we trade with countries who don't have. Only 3% of the world's water is freshwater, and Canada withholds a lot of it. Freshwater and water bottle companies would benefit from the money they would gain. Canada would have a high demand for clean water from countries in need. Also in freshwater lakes and rivers, there are many edible fish living, so a lot of fishermen go fish over there. They can sell the fish and make money as a lot of people already do.
