Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'm going to ask Mr. Galt a question about plastics, because I know he works with them extensively. I was very proud of the work we got done. It was a motion I had in the House of Commons that was passed, and that was then followed through by the Harper administration in terms of regulation banning microbeads. Those were some of the plastics that were in your toothpaste, in your shampoo and so forth.
I know that all plastics are not created equally, so I do understand the differences, but perhaps you could delve into that a little bit, because I think what we're looking at is trying to find the balance of the single-use and unnecessary plastics versus some of the plastics that we use for lightening the weight of cars and other types of mechanics of different machines and so forth that could be more useful.
Can you give a little insight about that, please, Mr. Galt?
