Thank you to such a distinguished panel.
This really is a tremendous group of plastics experts. I really appreciate it.
I'll disclose off the bat that I've had past professional dealings and great opportunities to collaborate with Mr. Sandborn, and I have a great respect for the environmental law clinic that UVic operates. Also, in the past, I've worked a little bit with Mr. Valiante on extended producer responsibility related to electronic waste.
I have long understood your expertise on this, Mr. Valiante, and I appreciate your contributions here.
I want to go to you first. I've heard clearly your call for federal performance standards around recycling. What's the magic number? Does it vary for specific types of plastics? What are the ballpark figures that we're looking at? I've heard 80%, 85%. The objective here is to establish a national standard, I presume, and then push the provinces to meet it.
