Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our guests for being here.
I just wanted to point out that I got involved in municipal council back in 1991 in the township of Keppel. I was on what they then called the waste management committee. Today it's the environmental committee; the names have changed. I was actually part of the team that initiated the very first recycling in our rural part of Ontario. I believe strongly in recycling, but I'm also a realist and I realize there are limitations. You've pointed out some of them. Our recycling actually extended the life of our dump by an estimated 23 to 25 years, so there was a value for the taxpayer right there.
You talked about traceability. Remember, I have only six minutes. Very briefly, in 30 seconds, how would you define “traceability”?
