An Act to amend the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (plastic manufactured items)

Bill C-380 (44-1) was a Conservative Private Member's Bill from Corey Tochor to amend the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and remove 'plastic manufactured items' from the Schedule 1 list of toxic substances. The federal government had listed that category in 2021 to underpin its single-use-plastics ban, but the Federal Court ruled in 2023 that listing all plastic manufactured items as toxic was unreasonable and overbroad, and the government appealed. The bill would have written that result into law, reversing the listing. Critics said it would gut federal authority to regulate plastic pollution. It did not pass second reading.
