In my riding there's a packaging plant called Emballages Lacroix. It's in St-Placide. They make packaging for hummus and yogourt and cheeses, really familiar packaging. I'm super-proud of the number of jobs it creates in a very rural part of the riding. It's good to have a plant somewhere that's very, very rural and creates jobs where otherwise people wouldn't really be able to find work. The amount of plastic that comes out of there in a day is really shocking. I talked to them and went through the plant, and took in the plastic that was being made new. They said they can't use recyclable materials. That's maybe because they ship across North America, so they ship into the States, too. They can't use recyclable materials for yogourt; they have to use new material. They use recyclable materials for non-food products. They came up with recyclable materials because they were very conscious of the fact that there was a lot of new plastic.
What should the federal government be doing to try and create standardization not just across Canada, but also with the United States? A lot of our out-shipping market is with the States. What can we do to make sure that the reducing and using recyclable materials in food packaging happens? How do we make it so that they can use some recyclable materials? If you can't do that, and they've reduced as much as possible, what can we do to encourage recycling afterwards?
