Mr. Speaker, you are absolutely right and I sincerely apologize.
In a letter dated January 3, the Minister of the Environment said that she would consider, and I quote, “proposing the issue of microplastics as a possible priority issue to be addressed”.
That could not be less clear. Does my colleague agree that urgent action is needed? The NDP has shown initiative. Once again, we are being proactive and constructive. We want to build a better Canada. That is what we are going to do in the coming months and after the election.
I would like to know what my colleague thinks about the urgent need for action and the way the Conservatives are dragging their feet on this issue.
