Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses.
It's especially good to see Professor Curran with us, given the pivotal role that the Environmental Law Centre has played in the impetus behind the topic we're talking about today. She mentioned the meeting with former MP Murray Rankin, Member of Parliament Gord Johns and MP Wilkinson, who's now our environment minister.
Professor Curran, I wonder if you could start by just talking about the proposed ban on single-use plastic and where it fits in the larger effort to combat plastic pollution.
