Not great. Canada is lagging behind places such as the EU in terms of the precautionary principle, which was brought up. BPA is largely going to be replaced with BPS, which is structurally similar and has been found to cause similar problems in scientific studies. Part of the problem is there are so many chemicals that are already out there legally and circulating that haven't been properly tested. The approach tends to be one chemical at a time. It really is scientifically infeasible to approach it one chemical at a time.
I know you've done more work on this, Vito. That's your speciality.
I am very worried about the polymer of plastics, but I'm less worried about that than plastic additives, because they've been shown over and over again...the United Nations Environment Programme.... There's consensus in the scientific community that they do cause harm, and they aren't being reduced at all. So with the circular economy approach, which you rightfully brought up, you might be able to circle some of the polymers through that, but a lot of these chemicals, including persistent organic pollutants, do not go away. They don't circle. They circulate, but they don't get recaptured, and they are toxic.
