Thank you very much for that thoughtful question.
We fundamentally agree that plastic is a resource. It is both a material and an economic resource to be recovered. It should never enter the environment.
We work with all of the provincial governments across the country and the federal government on data collection. Our members are constantly reporting on the materials coming into the system that they are supplying, either through import or domestic manufacturing. That's at the provincial level.
We also work with producer responsibility organizations, which then report on the outcomes. That's an eventuality. We don't have that nuance in the system yet.
We're working with the federal government on the federal plastics registry. The aim of that initiative is to help harmonize the data among the EPR programs and understand the flow. We fundamentally support good data to make all informed decisions. We have some concerns and have made some recommendations to the government. Producers are pretty stretched in their ability. The volume and granularity of data being asked of them is pretty tough for anyone other than the largest companies, but we certainly support good data.
