Thank you for the question.
It's one of the things my colleagues at Public Services and Procurement Canada are working on.
There are two things. One, we are putting in place a policy within Environment and Climate Change Canada—and we hope to have that policy in place by the summer—that will deal with the purchases that we make within our department and the nature of the materials we can use, including the use of single-use plastics.
The Government of Canada is also putting in place directives for all of the government operations, including the specifications for our procurement requirements. It is also looking at its building and lease facilities in terms of putting in place requirements there as well.
There has been a commitment made to divert 75% of plastic waste by 2030 from federal government operations, and that's supported by our greening government strategy. There's a commitment as well to eliminate unnecessary use of single-use plastics in government operation events and meetings, and there's specific guidance that is rolling out with respect to that.
Then there are also procurement strategies targeting sustainable procurement, so that we're using our buying power not only to influence what we purchase, but also, then, to influence what others purchase as well. That's going on as well.
