“This is an ongoing battle, and it’s time again for Alberta to stand up and defend our interests from the Trudeau government,” said Kenney.
“This is an ongoing battle, and it’s time again for Alberta to stand up and defend our interests from the Trudeau government,” Premier Jason Kenney said in a news conference on Thursday morning.“The federal government has once against drifted out of their lane, straying into provincial jurisdiction where it has no legal right to be in. This includes provincial jurisdiction over property rights and civil rights which will be reflected in our submission.
At the time, Wilkinson said he will add “plastic manufactured items” to the “toxic substances list” under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. Items on the list must be limited in their release into the environment, which includes banning some products and encouraging recycling or reuse of others.Kenney maintains plastic is not toxic, saying the federal government has no scientific evidence to label plastic manufactured items that way.
While the day-to-day use of plastic items such as cell phones and utensils may not be harmful, some plastics can emit toxic substances when broken down. “It’s a grey zone. We can’t say plastics are toxic because we use them on a daily basis, but if you use the right type of plastic in the right place and it’s exposed to the right type of liquid and temperature… that might become a problem.”
