Thank you to the witnesses and, again, to the clerks for a very interesting panel this afternoon.
Mayor Vodanovic, you made a comment that Canada is not heading toward better recycling. We heard something similar from the recycling businesses in British Columbia and Alberta a few meetings ago. They said, “You're not going in the right direction.”
Your market solution that you were describing sounded a lot like carbon pricing to me: that you price what you don't want and incent what you do want. It also needs to work with the provinces. I know that Quebec has been a leader in climate-change pricing, as well as in environmental.
What message could we be sending to our partners across the country in provincial or municipal governments?
