Thank you.
Thank you to the witnesses here today.
This is always very interesting, and I wish I had more time. I'm just going to start with Mr. Lessard.
You talked about your work in creating new polymers and all the various things that we can benefit from there, but it seems to be going counter to a need for recycling, because one of the problems with recycling is that we have this wide array of polymers, whether it's polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride or whatever.
Can you talk about when you create a new polymer? How easy is that polymer then disassembled and made into a new plastic? Where is the toxicity? Is it in the monomers that come from the breakdown? I have a whole bunch of questions, but for this study we're doing, can you can talk about how you square your work to create a higher diversity of plastics with how do we up the recycling?
