Thank you to Ms. Wirsig for being with us today.
I thought I'd start with this. One of the themes I've heard from the Conservatives today about the plastics issue is that all plastic is being properly put into landfills. We don't see it lying around on the streets, so what's the problem?
I know you touched on it in your opening remarks, but could you, just for a minute, go over the impacts that plastics have on Canadians directly, as in out of sight, out of mind? Conservatives say we don't have to worry about plastics in the ocean, that it's the ocean so it's out of our jurisdiction and we really don't see it much. What are the impacts on our health and our well-being, and why do we have to do this?
