Twenty-five cents seems a little excessive. It might be more appropriate when fewer people are using bags. Has the Minister ever considered using maybe a tiered implementation starting at a lower rate in the beginning and then maybe moving up to 25 cents as more people stop using the plastic bags and move more into permanent recyclable bags?
