Lobbyists for the American plastics industry have set their sights on Canada’s proposed single-use plastics ban

10/20/2020 09:53 AM EDTOTTAWA — , even as Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson on Wednesday unveiled a preliminary list of banned items that includes plastic bags, straws and utensils.

Asked about the issue during a press conference on Wednesday, Wilkinson dismissed the warning. “I think those concerns that are being expressed are simply wrong,” he said. “This proposal is really focused on ensuring that we’re treating all products, irrespective of whether they’re manufactured here or elsewhere … in the same way. I do not see a trade concern.”
