Thank you.
You can get back to me on this next question. The overlap issues in B.C. are a mess. It is absolute chaos. It has to do with the treaty negotiations that are going on. It has to do with DRIPA. It has to do with all sorts of different issues happening at the same time. In fact, first nations in B.C. are saying that they will block the highway to Prince Rupert if their overlap issues are not addressed within the B.C. treaty process.
You can get back to the committee on this in writing, if you please. How will you ensure that this is an open, transparent process with all the first nations affected by overlap issues when you plan to expand 30 by 30 initiatives in B.C.?
Madam Chair, I'm tabling a motion that I will move at a future meeting. With my remaining time, I'd like to read it into the record, as follows:
That the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development undertake a study, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), of at least two meetings, on the environmental and economic impacts of tire recycling and retreading in Canada, with particular attention to low-cost, single-use tire imports; examine their effects on domestic manufacturing, retreading, circular economy goals and waste diversion; consider implications for jobs, competitiveness and supply-chain resilience; and report its findings and recommendations to the House.
