Thank you, Madam Chair.

My first questions today are for the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada.

With COVID-19, we're seeing, for obvious health and safety reasons, a spike in the use of single-use plastics, plastic bags, PPE and other items to stop the spread of the pandemic.

With the encouraged use of these materials to stop the spread of the virus and also with the added demand for food safety, Ms. Des Chênes, do you think the government is correct in wanting to label plastics as toxic?
