Environment committee  It's been a very interesting discussion about this particular subject because what the House of Commons voted on in 2014 and what the House of Commons got after 2014 are very different. Industry came to the House of Commons and said that they recommended some type of a risk manag

Environment committee  If you care about global emissions going down, you should encourage as much investment in Canada as you possibly can because the standards that our industry has in this country are unparalleled compared to the rest of the world. Take methanol, for example, the market for which is

Environment committee  I think we have to look at the actual problems we're trying to solve. As I said in my presentation, we don't believe that any plastic should ever be thrown out. If we could find a way to recover it, we would absolutely recover it. Consumer behaviour, unfortunately, doesn't always

Environment committee  First and foremost, that is up to the consumer. It's up to the consumer to determine whether or not they want to make those types of choices. Our family does. I'm sure many other families do, but if you're implying some kind of a product ban, I don't think product bans work. I th

Environment committee  To my understanding, there is one just outside of Halifax. I'm not sure whether it's operational or not. It's either right ready to start or it's just starting up. The issue with pyrolysis is getting the material to the facility. Halifax is far away from Toronto, so that will add

Environment committee  It goes back to what I said in my presentation, that a lot of environmental costs don't have dollar values associated with them. Right now there are significant costs associated with the collection and disposal of garbage, but these are costs that don't factor into the business d

Environment committee  I would tell you that by reducing the amount of plastic we use as consumers, we are contributing to saving the oceans, but—

Environment committee  To the best of our knowledge.... I have not seen something about recovering fisheries technology in a way that pencils out, but certainly that's something we could look into.

Environment committee  If you were the Premier of Ontario, I'd say you're going to save a lot of money because the tipping fee coming out of Toronto is $117 or $118 a tonne. We're going to be reducing the amount of waste that's going into the landfill, and we're going to be getting a secondary economic

Environment committee  It will depend on what markets are available. If you're close to a refinery—

Environment committee  In the U.S., in Idaho, they're—

Environment committee  In Idaho, they are converting it into a raw crude diesel, and they're putting it right back into their municipal fleets.

Environment committee  Disobedience....

Environment committee  That would be a perfect example of something that should go into the EnergyBag. The EnergyBag could be converted into a diesel substitute. It could be converted into a methanol, which could then be turned into any form of plastic. Again, it's going to be up to both policy-makers

Environment committee  In the jurisdictions where they are in place—I mentioned Idaho, Nebraska and parts of Atlanta—they are converting them into other feedstocks. In Idaho, they are replacing diesel in the municipal fleets with the product that goes through the EnergyBag. Again, there is no perfect
