Thanks, Madam Chair. It's certainly my intent to put the motion on the floor and then leave it to the steering committee to determine the appropriate timing of the meetings.
With that said, I move:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development conduct a study into the government's recent announcement of a ban on single-use plastic items and designating plastics under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. That this study include, but not be limited to, the impacts to Canadian small business and the plastics production industry in Canada, including the impact to jobs. That the study be a minimum of 8 meetings and include, but not be limited, to the following witnesses; officials from Environment and Climate Change Canada, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change. That the Committee complete its study no later than December 11, 2020 and that the Committee report its findings to the House.
