Environment committee  They are being recycled now—many are—and resold. Our tire industry is another one. We need tires to get around, but we make a lot of them. I couldn't make enough tire art pieces at this stage. Everyone on the planet would have one, I'm sure, because I made four out of my own tire

Environment committee  May I ask you a question?

Environment committee  How could you see that happening? How do you see a registry being built? How would you get that registry?

Environment committee  Absolutely, but I agree with you that it would take a lot of labour to get that in place. On incentives, also sometimes businesses throw away toxic waste, things they don't want people to know about.

Environment committee  Yes.

Environment committee  Yes. Now, it is a dirty business, right? We have to deal with that, quite literally. I have been to recyclers.

Environment committee  Yes, and as my colleague here says, money talks. If we can expose the value, such as breaking down products like light bulbs, that's brilliant.

Environment committee  I'd like Hans to speak to this. He is one of Canada's notorious, well-known restoration architects. He's worked across Canada.

Environment committee  Yes, I've heard of that.

Environment committee  Absolutely, I can envision it. I think funding for research is where we need to start. I would love to go spend my time knocking on doors, but I also need to support myself and we need to work. I could see funding for research.

Environment committee  We can't take waste out of landfills right now. We're not allowed. There are a lot of problems we have to deal with.

Environment committee  You could give them a rebate.

Environment committee  Absolutely. My experience with the waste industry is that it's cloaked. There's a lot of study that needs to be done, but it's getting behind the cloak.
