Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Mathieu-Poulin, I would like to go back to the federal plastics registry, which we discussed earlier and which will come into force in September 2025, as you know. It's a good idea and we hope that it will not be dropped, but it is a year away and there could be a change in government by then. You never know.
As you know, Canada has not reinvented the wheel. Comparable registries were created in Japan in 2018, in Australia in 2021, and by the European Union in 2018. So some countries have already had this kind of registry for three to five years. As an expert, when did you say that such a registry was necessary to truly achieve our ambitious objectives?
