Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my hon. colleague for his work on this issue.
The Prime Minister promised last year that we would ban harmful single-use plastics by 2021. We are very proud that today we have put forward the draft science assessment. We want to do this with Canadians, so we are inviting them to give us their feedback and be a part of the process, and 60 days from now we will start the process of moving forward with that ban.
We know it is important not just for us, but for future generations of Canadians.
