During a press
conference right after the APEC Summit held in the Philippines, Prime Minister
Trudeau was publicly asked queries with regard to the container vans shipped in
the country in the year 2013 wherein up until now no solution was made.
According to the
good Prime Minister, he was made aware of the happening and said there were “loopholes
that were allowed to be skirted” which led to the negative situation.
He also
added that an on-going Canadian solution is on the process of being developed.
He reiterated that the said solution is on a “moving forward” direction wherein
if a similar situation ever happens again, his government has the command to mandate
action from responsible companies.
It has
been noted that over the past years, Philippine legislators and environmental
watchmen have literally spoken against the illegal waste being shipped to the
country and pressed the Canadian government to take them back as soon as
possible.
