Environment committee  That's great. Thank you. I do have one more follow-up question. There have been other questions in my riding, and often they talk about corridors between the U.S. and Canada and making sure that species stay alive. I know that they are also particularly concerned about certain t

Environment committee  Thank you so much.

Environment committee  Thank you so much, Mr. Chair. I just want to say thank you so much, Minister, and thank you so much, parliamentary secretary and all of you, for being here today. I really appreciate it. This is an issue that is super important for the residents of my riding of Davenport. I woul

Environment committee  Great. Mr. Ross, would you add anything?

Environment committee  Just to be clear on that, the recommendation to the federal government would be to ask for proper labelling of plastics in products. Does that not happen right now?

Environment committee  Okay, thank you.

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. One of the things I heard fairly consistently in all presentations was education, education, education. If I had to ask each one of you to make a recommendation specifically on that, what would that be? I'll start with you, Mr. Masterson. Then I'll go to M

Environment committee  It would be in terms of the federal government.

Environment committee  Would you add anything, Mr. Goetz?

Environment committee  I'm sorry to interrupt. I don't have a lot of time, but I appreciate the examples. I guess there's one more question that comes to mind as you're talking. Why can't we just say that you can't produce and sell plastic in this country unless it's recyclable? Why are we not able to

Environment committee  That is surprising and upsetting, actually. Thank you.
