Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
Madam Des ChĂȘnes, you spoke in your brief about the partnership with the federal government on recycling of plastics. It's very interesting.
I'm wondering to what extent that is being developed now. You reference working currently with Environment and Climate Change Canada to recover the value of waste plastics as potential feedstocks for recycling and redevelopment.
As you know, of course, it's an important area internationally. More and more people are concerned about plastic pollution.
Before I worked in an oil refinery, I worked in a plastic factory. I know plastics first-hand, and I share that concern.
This could be quite a dynamic program, where Canada could be a world leader. Where is that now in terms of development, and what would be the resources that would be required so Canada could be a world leader?
