People in the third world have coined a phrase for first world environmentalists. They often call them eco-imperialists, placing their views above the rights of those countries and individuals. This particular amendment has the potential to do the same here. I would remind people of the recent incident where this young elementary student—I think it was in Quebec or perhaps Ontario—was sent home because he brought a sandwich to school in a plastic bag; the teacher felt that this somehow was causing environmental harm. That kind of disgraceful behaviour by self-appointed people who assume they know what's best for the environment, and thereby the individual, is what will result from this particular amendment. I think this amendment is problematic at best and should be defeated.
