I think the Competition Act needs to be reconsidered and include very strong prohibitions on misleading advertising about the environmental qualities of products. I think that is happening across the board with products. Corporations have figured out that consumers are reluctant to buy things they think might be environmentally harmful, and yet you have corporations that are selling products that oftentimes are inherently environmentally harmful, and so they fudge the truth. The Competition Act needs to be changed so that when a corporation does that, the Competition Bureau steps in and says, “Wait a minute, we're going to make you retract that misleading advertising that is causing people to waste”—in this case plastics—“and create all these destructive wastes”.
