Madam Speaker, it says that there is no transparency or accountability in the government, which is what Canadians are asking for. One of the scandals I read into the record was on the plastics registry and the plastics ban. I have received a copy of a letter from a congressman in the United States who wrote to the Canadian ambassador, saying this: “Violation of Trade Agreements: The 'Canadian Plastics Registry' seems to violate USMCA's environmental and trade provisions, especially in Chapter 24, sections 2, 4, and 5, potentially undermining established trade agreements.”
Also, the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses Canada has said, “the [Liberal] government [needs] to abandon its plans to impose a 'plastics registry' on that important industry. This policy proposal has been found to contravene the USMCA trade agreement and has become an ongoing trade irritant.” Everything the Liberal government touches, including this plastics ban, is detrimental to, and is undermining, Canadians, who just want a carbon tax election, so let us call one now.
