Environment committee  Okay. That's excellent. Thanks to each of you for those opening comments. I thank each of you for being here today. I think it's a very timely conversation. We're hearing many municipalities and Canadians in general starting to have discussions about single-use-plastic bans, although I would also indicate that we may be years if not decades late in starting this conversation about plastic and plastic pollution.

Environment committee  Thank you for those opening comments. Now we'll move to Mr. Valiante for his opening 10-minute statement.

Environment committee  We're out of time for the opening comments.

Environment committee  Sure. There will be opportunities for further discussion. Thank you very much. I will say thank you for the two opening statements so far. I am enjoying my glass of water much less now than I was at the start of the meeting today, but I'll carry on with having some water. We'll move over to our guests from Dow, and we'll give you 10 minutes for your opening statement.

Environment committee  No. Finish up.

Environment committee  Good timing. Thank you so much for your opening comments and the work you've been doing on what is a obviously a very important issue. I look forward to the conversation that we'll have with you as we get into the questions and answers. We'll now move to Mr. Sandborn. I neglected to introduce Andrea Lesperance, who is with you today.

Environment committee  Good afternoon, everybody. I'm sorry for the slightly delayed beginning to our proceedings today. We are continuing our plastics pollution study. I believe this is our fourth session hearing witnesses. We have two more to go in our very mini-study on plastics pollution. Today we have Chelsea Rochman, assistant professor at the University of Toronto, who is appearing as an individual.

Environment committee  We'll now suspend the meeting, clear the room and go into the in camera business we have scheduled. [Proceedings continue in camera]

Environment committee  I'll give you a last quick question.

Environment committee  That takes us slightly over your time, Ms. Mathyssen, but since all of the other parties also went slightly over on their round or two of questioning, I think that levels it out for everybody. That takes us to the end of our rounds of questioning. To the minister and officials, thank you so much for being here.

Environment committee  Thank you. Members, I was going to move right into the votes. Mr. Bossio, we.... Who else did I lose? We'll now turn to the votes. CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AGENCY Vote 1—Operating expenditures..........$53,511,120 Vote 5—Grants and Contributions..........$14,525,184 (Votes 1 and 5 agreed to on division) DEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT Vote 1—Operating expenditures..........$837,298,834 Vote 5—Capital expenditures..........$82,322,680 Vote 10—Grants and contributions..........$787,558,681 Vote 15—Canada's Marine Safety Response..........$2,535,478 Vote 20—Ensuring Better Disaster Management Preparation and Response..........$790,033 Vote 25—Implementing a Federal Carbon Offset System..........$4,739,890 Vote 30—Strong Arctic and Northern Communities..........$18,280,000 (Votes 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 agreed to on division) PARKS CANADA AGENCY Vote 1—Program expenditures..........$1,433,900,120 Vote 5—Payment to the New Parks and Historic Sites Account..........$13,423,000 (Votes 1 and 5 agreed to on division) Shall I report the votes on the main estimates to the House?

Environment committee  All right. That took slightly less time than I had expected.

Environment committee  Thank you. Ms. Mathyssen, you have the final round of questions for three minutes.

Environment committee  Thank you. We will now move over to Mr. Amos and Mr. Fisher.

Environment committee  You have 20 seconds left if somebody can fit something in. We've been consistent about sharing time.
