Environment committee  Yes, it's a story.

Environment committee  I have a statement to make. I live in a rural area. Some of the people who live in the area I represent I've known for a long time, and they would be referred to as Amish or Mennonite people. If they were at this committee today, they'd be blown away. They'd ask what this big pro

Environment committee  This is just further to the Keurig pods and the wrappers around them. Even if it says “compostable” in terms of the plastic or whatever it's made out of, there's a bit of a disclaimer there, because it says that it's only in the municipalities that are participating in the progra

Environment committee  No, I know that.

Environment committee  Right. So if the biggest city in Canada—

Environment committee  Okay. I have one quick last question for the environmental guys again. It irks me. I buy a big box of McDonalds Keurig cups, for example—the little things you put in your coffee machine—and they're compostable, but they're wrapped in plastic. What sense does that make? What is t

Environment committee  Does anybody in the committee know where, say, a dirty plastic container goes? Does it get recycled or does it go to Timbuktu?

Environment committee  Clean or dirty?

Environment committee  Okay.

Environment committee  Okay. I want to ask the retail fellows here, and maybe the environmental guys if they want to chip in too. I've never been to the Beer Store. They tell me you go there for something. But the Beer Store in Ontario has the most successful recycling program in North America. That's

Environment committee  Maybe in the world.... If Coca-Cola wants to sell their plastic two-litre bottles, why not put a 10¢ deposit on them? I don't drink pop, but it doesn't seem right to me that one little bottle of pop is two dollars. So does it matter if it's two dollars or $2.10? That's something
