Thank you, Chair, and thank you to my colleague.
The only point I'll disagree with is the one Mr. Davidson made during his sound check, when he said he had the best riding. There are many MPs here who would challenge him in terms of whose riding is truly the best.
This is a really important bill, and I'm glad to see it brought forward.
The member talked about the committee, and how it had recommended it. That was before the pandemic. The pandemic has shown us the importance of being self-sufficient, whether it's developing our own PPE or disposing of plastic waste.
Can you talk a bit more about your motivation? You had a very fortunate spot in terms of introducing a bill. Of all the different areas you could have chosen, why was this important to you?
