P.E.I. has shown that it can lead the way in Canada by being the first province to implement a single-use plastic bag ban. Now, we have the chance to lead the way again with a single-use plastics ban. So, what are we waiting for?

Sure, we could wait for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to come through on his announcement to have a single-use plastics ban in place by 2021. But then again, he made that announcement in June, well before the election and the change in government to a Liberal minority. Simply put, with a minority government, we can’t put any stock in previous promises or timelines.

So, this is the perfect time to start putting together our own legislation since the Greens........
