Mr. Chair, in testimony, we decided that we heard there was adequate.... The Basel Convention has a very clear section B: “Operations which may lead to resource recovery, recycling reclamation, direct re-use or alternative uses”. That's clearly laid out.
While there were some industry concerns about there not being a direct definition in the bill, rest assured that there is one, in a reference in CEPA to the convention itself, which actually says that operations that may relate to “resource recovery, recycling reclamation, direct re-use or alternative uses” are clearly allowed. This should at least put some minds at ease that there is a very clear process for it, as there are over 170 different signatories to the Basel Convention, and this happens every day in certain jurisdictions.
We will not, therefore, be putting forward the amendment at this time.
