Great to hear a ban will be put in place in Canada, and hope it is inforced by 2021.  The list of items includes plastic bags & cutlery which the UK did not add there their ban list. 

“• ban harmful single-use plastics as early as 2021 (such as plastic bags, straws, cutlery, plates, and stir sticks) where supported by scientific evidence and warranted, and take other steps to reduce pollution from plastic products and packaging

• work with provinces and territories to introduce standards and targets for companies that manufacture plastic products or sell items with plastic packaging so they become responsible for their plastic waste.”
