What is the Canadian Government doing to protect its lakes/rivers and oceans from water pollution?

I have the Action Plan for Clean Water already from the Environmental Canada website. Can anyone give me more information about what they are doing? I’m writing an essay about water pollution.

Also, what other factors do industries have to not get rid of chemicals properly other than the cost?
Thank you : )
