Recochem Inc. The Recycling Council of Ontario will also have one member. Signing for RCO will be its chair, John Lackie. The final member of the board is the Deputy Minister of the Environment, Stien Lal. Please join me in honouring these organizations for their commitment to waste reduction and the protection of our environment. They must address some important and challenging issues, but we believe that these leaders from industry, government and the RCO have the skills and creativity to get the job done.
Today marks a turning point in Ontario's efforts to help municipalities reduce waste.
I look forward to reaching our waste reduction goals in the near future and reaching beyond the Blue Box to address other wastes, including tires, used oil and special household wastes. I want to close with thanks to our host, the Recycling Council of Ontario, and the member organizations of the Waste Diversion Organization.
