Madam Chair, the government has recognized that plastics pose a significant threat to our oceans, as mentioned in the minister's intervention. Can the minister commit that polystyrene products will be included as pollutants in the oceans protection plan?

Mr. Chair, moving on, I was really pleased to hear the minister say that she recognizes that polystyrene is a real problem of plastic pollution in our coastal areas, but I was disappointed to hear that it sounded like DFO is not interested in getting it out of the ocean. Is DFO working with Environment and Climate Change Canada to improve the regulations currently under review for ocean plastics to put polystyrene's use in the marine and coastal areas on a list so that we avoid getting it into the ocean in the first place?
