Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses today.
I know we're all aware of Canada's role on the international stage. This past spring, we hosted the fourth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on Plastic Pollution, announcing over $3.3 million in funding that would go to support Canadian organizations innovating in the fight against plastic pollution. Of course, recycling is an important part of the solution.
Mr. Arjmand, you highlighted the fact that only 9% of the four million tonnes of plastic waste generated in Canada each year is recycled. You began to speak about value addition in the recycling process, and how that would go a long way in supporting the circular economy. You ran out of time, so I'd like to hear from you.
Could you finish your testimony?
