Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for being here. We are seeing each other more regularly and are going to become neighbours, if not friends. We are going to build relationships. Let's stop here for now and see how things go from there.
Some witnesses have told members of this committee that there is a problem. Everyone around the table here agrees that plastic is a problem. I understood from your presentation, Ms. Ryan, that there is a jurisdictional problem, but I think the problem is bigger than that.
Plastics must be a priority, and not just at the territorial, provincial and national level. We must look at this major problem in a global way. Canada, from east to west, collects a lot of plastic that it does not control. It's people from other countries who are polluting the planet. We must go beyond provincial and federal regulations.
What is the best advice you could give to us legislators so that there are concrete results? What would allow us to measure the results so that, at last, we can begin to have the hope of cleaning our planet of plastic?
