I'm a supporter of Canadian innovation. Again, Canada has to harness our innovative Canadian companies and showcase them.
I'm a supporter of recycling. We all want to keep plastic circular in the economy; that is our goal, and I think my Liberal colleagues would agree with me on that. I know Raj does.
We want to see a successful recycling program take place in Canada. We want to see innovative Canadian businesses. Do we want to see a problem with plastics in the world's oceans? Quite frankly, Laurel, people ask me in my riding how this affects them in Lake Simcoe. Well, we know that there are articles just out on microplastics and on fish consuming plastics. We know Gord Johns has spoken on this issue to my colleagues on the B.C. coast, and to my colleagues in P.E.I. and New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in relation to harvesting lobster.
These are all important things. I'm open to making this bill as robust as possible.
