Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll pick up where I left off in talking about the flares, because it seems like the kind of problem that should be easily solvable.
Here you have a product that you don't want to see ending up in trash cans or on the beach at marinas. What we need is some leadership, and we need some sort of program to ensure that these are disposed of properly. When you buy tires, you pay an eco fee on top of the cost of the tires, which allows you to take those tires back to registered facilities, which are compensated for the task of collecting those tires and disposing of them properly.
To both of our witnesses who spoke on this topic, would you support moving toward such a system, which would require regulation but wouldn't necessarily require a subsidy through taxation of the non-boating public? It could be financed by the users of the products.
Is that something you'd support?
