I have a question for our friends at Dow.
Mr. Burt, you mentioned that Dow's preference would be for there to be an intergovernmental process flowing through the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment. What I took from your suggestion was that this process really shouldn't move forward in the absence of some broader pan-Canadian agreement on how to approach things.
I would put to you, though—and I would ask you for your response—that Canadians aren't interested in waiting for governmental collaboration. I think there are probably a few governments in this country that are quite happy to not regulate more stringently, that are not looking to be tough on plastics pollution, and that are quite happy to sit back and not do very much, and I think they're probably Conservative governments.
If the average constituent of mine says, “Get going on plastics pollution,” what do you have to say to those individuals who want action regardless of whether the provinces agree or don't agree on specific numbers, particularly on things like, say, performance standards?
