Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'll just pick up where I left off with apologies to Ms. de Leon. I didn't mean to get too far down into the weeds about your recommendations to the Ontario government, but I just wanted to get a sense of whether or not we're moving in the right direction.
I notice from the Canada-wide action plan on extended producer responsibility that the first phase, that six-year phase, also requires the adoption of measures in relation to mercury-containing lamps, other mercury-containing products, household hazardous and special waste, and automotive products.
I want to get a sense from you whether or not that initiative is heading in the right direction. The idea is to end up with consistent and harmonized methods with maximum impact across the national marketplace to shift the responsibility for end-of-life management of products to manufacturers or importers.
Are the Minister of the Environment for Canada and the other ministers heading in the right direction with this?
