Once again, if we find that once it's under schedule 1, and we've done all of those assessments to determine its toxicity and the impacts on the environment, is it possible...?
We heard Dr. Liboiron from Newfoundland, and then another doctor whose name I can't remember, talking about how plastic acts like a sponge in the environment by drawing other toxic chemicals surrounding it into itself, thereby further contaminating the environment with that sponge effect. Then it breaks down and is consumed by different aquatic species, etc.
Under those authorities, is there anything that would limit the federal government's ability to take actions such as recyclability, harmonization, EPR, banning certain substances, banning landfilling? Is there anything that would be a barrier to the federal government's taking action to that extent?
