Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think it's important to note as this amendment is put forward that the exceptions are there because we're adding the language around “special consideration”. That is not in the bill. Canada has not ratified amendments around “special consideration” and this is a huge gap. We need that. We need to ensure that we are not shipping waste that falls under what the Basel Convention talks about in terms of “special consideration”, which is mixed waste that ends up harming people around the world.
Just to respond to Mr. Saini's points around certainty, this language is actually taken directly from the Basel Convention, and it's not creating more uncertainty. It's actually creating certainty, because we're aligning with international agreements around shipping and attempting to stop the shipping of this kind of waste to other countries.
