Kelli Saunders is the Canadian secretary on the task force and says one of the main recommendations is representation by first nation groups in the decision making process.
Other recommendations, include streamlining the number of agencies working in the Lake of the Woods
and Rainy River drainage basins, and reviewing water level guidelines for the lake.
