Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for attending today.
I find it frustrating coming to committee sometimes, especially when divisive, evasive comments come from the minister.
I have a question related to plastics and the recent changes. You've labelled plastic straws, utensils and bags as toxic. Why is it okay for Canada to make plastic bags and straws and send them to other countries, export them for good economic reasons, but it's not okay for Canadians to use them?
