Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to the witnesses for being here.

We've been sorting through.... I guess in this study when you talk about “sorting” it can be taken a lot of different ways, but in this case we're looking at Bill C-204 as well as the amendments that Canada approved recently on the Basel Convention on plastics, and then we have the Canada-U.S. agreement.

As a member of Parliament, I'm trying to see what's missing in what we've been doing as a government with the Basel Convention and the U.S. agreement, and what would be added by Bill C-204.

Is there anything in Bill C-204 that we're not already addressing through the regulations and the agreements we're currently working on?
