Thank you for your presentation. It reminds me that in the mid-nineties I used to be on the Federation of Canadian Municipalities' board of directors and we tried to get a packaging protocol developed at that time and it was very difficult. There are many factors that come into that.
I come from a rural and remote region of Canada and there recycling has to be looked at with a bit of a jaundiced eye because of course sometimes the energy costs in recycling are greater than the cost of producing a new package. I'm a little concerned about this idea of uniform standards across the country when our country is not uniform. There are many smaller remote communities that, if forced into a pattern of behaviour that's not correct, won't reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and won't do the job that Toronto may well do.
How can we be sure that those communities are well served by any uniform regulation across the country?
