Federal Plastics Registry sparks concern for business costs
Lee Harding critiques Ottawa’s plan to mandate the Federal Plastics Registry under the 1999 Canadian Environmental Protection Act.

It notes deadlines, consultant advisories, and the broader surveillance trend in global sustainability initiatives.
