Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have a few questions for Mr. Galt.
If I understand correctly, in your presentation you took issue with this idea of plastics being listed as toxic under the CEPA definition.
I read the CEPA definition. I am somewhat new to it, not being a permanent member of the committee. I struggle to see how these plastics don't fit the definition to a T. It talks about having “an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity; [constituting] or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends; or constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.”
I am curious whether it's that you don't feel plastics fit that definition or whether you don't feel that definition is appropriate. Could you explain?
