Canada hasn't filed the final amendment.
There have been three amendments, and Canada has only been a signatory to two. The U.S. isn't a signatory to the Basel Convention.
First of all, Environment Canada doesn't even track plastic waste going outside of the country. There were 400,000 tonnes of plastic waste exported for which no permits were issued.
The fact of the matter is that when you look at the world's oceans and look at what's happening, you can see that we have a plastics problem. It's staring us right in the face, and this is still happening regardless, so we have to have a law with some teeth to stop this from happening.
