Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Albas, while you are ceding time and being apologetic, thank you for making sure I have mine as well.

We've talked a lot about costs. We've talked about the cost to industry, and we've talked about the cost of jobs. The minister herself referenced a potential loss of $500 million in sales by the potential uncertainties of labelling plastic as toxic.

I'd like to direct this to Ms. Wallis and Ms. Wirsig.

What's the economic cost if we don't do this?
