Thank you, Chair.
I thank all the witnesses.
I really appreciate your suggestions. This is a very complex issue with numerous aspects.
Today, I would like to focus on your comments and your recommendations. I assume that our committee will soon have to recommend very concrete, very specific measures, and that it will have to go beyond the principles of circular economy, among other things. We may agree that it is a good idea to go with circular economy, but sometimes very concrete decisions have to be made to get there.
I would like to put my first question to Mr. Telfer and Mr. Cantin, whom I will ask to answer briefly, as we have very little time.
As far as I understand, you feel that the harmonization issue is very important, be it on a provincial or a national level, or even on an international level. Should it be surmised that it could be very good for the federal government to think about establishing national standards? That would create certainty within industry and within Canadian communities. Should Canadian authorities move forward with those standards?
