The Federal Government Won't Release Details on Plastics Ban

Cabinet has not spelled out whether a pending federal ban on single-use bags and other plastic products will outlaw their manufacture in Canada, the Commons environment committee was told yesterday. The ban on six blacklisted items is to take effect by year’s end: “Are they going to actually not allow them to be manufactured?”

 

Indeed:

“What do you and your family do to cut back on plastics?” asked a reporter.

“We have recently switched to drinking water bottles out of… water out of… when we have water bottles out of plastic. Sorry! Away from plastic towards paper like drink-box water bottles sort of things,” replied the Prime Minister.

 

Did you get that?
