Thank you, Madam Chair.
Welcome to the witnesses who are with us for this study.
Mr. Mathieu-Poulin, I commend you on all of your organization's work. As a Quebecker, I am always proud to see a Quebec company that is thriving and is at the forefront in various fields, specifically the environment. It is encouraging to see the work you are doing, and it is also evident that positive things are happening. It's clear that what Quebec is doing in various areas, whether Hydro Quebec, day care or pharmacare, serves as inspiration to other parts of the country. So congratulations on your efforts to protect the environment.
Since you are with us today, I would like you to talk to us about the environment. We know that Quebec has always been a pioneer on the environment and environmental responsibility. Quebec isn't perfect, but it's making progress. Can you tell us about the latest developments in recycling and environmental protection, and specifically the latest innovations in plastics recycling, the topic of our study?
In your opinion, what role does Quebec play in the conversation about plastics recycling, whether with other provinces in Canada or with the United States? I know that Éco Entreprises Québec is working very closely with municipalities in Quebec to standardize practices by 2025, and also with organizations in other provinces, such as Circular Materials. What can you tell us about that?
