Ron McKinnon at the Environment and Sustainable Development Committee

Thank you, Minister, for joining us here today.

Thank you for the work you're doing on helping us transition into a green, 21st-century economy.

I want to talk to you about plastic pollution. I noted that in your remarks you mentioned the ocean plastics charter as a result of our G7 presidency. You also mentioned the zero plastic waste strategy with the provinces and territories.

I'm wondering if you can speak more broadly on what this government is doing to combat the growing issue of plastic pollution.
