I was saying that the USMCA deal, which has just been passed, is a very good first step, but we must be reminded that Canada does not have an exemption to the buy America or Buy American policies within the USMCA, so anything we can do to secure that special Canadian exemption as soon as is practical is a recommendation as well.
The last point is that the federal government currently has an initiative to label plastics as toxic. At a time when the government is appealing to the manufacturers to retool and produce needed plastic products for the health care sector, such as masks, ventilators, hoses, IV bags, PPEs and those sorts of things, labelling plastics as toxic is counterproductive. It disparages and demonizes an otherwise very strong and healthy Canadian plastics industry that is working hard to help alleviate the effects of the COVID virus.
I'd like to end with the notion that plastic are not toxic; rather, they are the product of choice in many very critical applications, so if the government could look at ending that initiative and being much more focused on what it wants to do in terms of environment and litter, that would be very helpful.
Thank you so much for your time. We look forward to taking any questions at the end.
