Before starting the second round of questions, I have a question that might be related more to implementation than the proposed Bill. The witness might tell me if it is relevant to the Bill. It relates to the analysis of waste and material flows in our economy and society. Have we confidence in it and is it granular enough? Can we measure those flows so we know exactly what is happening? If that is not possible or the process must be improved, is there any element of the Bill that could be strengthened?
