Plastics producers ask court to quash planned federal ban on single-use straws, cups:

It is the second lawsuit filed in the court by a coalition of plastics

The first suit filed in 2021 seeks to overturn the government’s

Environmental Protection Act.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault used that designation to publish
regulations that will ban the sale, import and production of six
plastic items.
