No, but we think the ban should be part of the solution that Canada brings to bear in solving the plastic pollution problem. We think extended producer responsibility is a good way to go. We actually share a lot of the ideas our colleagues have put out here today—extended producer responsibility, bans, high recycled-content standards. We think the role for government around extended producer responsibility is to set high targets, hold producers responsible for reaching those targets, and levy fines if they don't get there. Establish that you have the powers to do it. Go ahead and let the provinces figure out the details. Let the producers figure out the details of how they're going to do it. You set the standard. You make them meet it.
