加拿大最高法院将于周四审理联邦政府对一次性塑料禁令的上诉。2021年，自由党政府根据《加拿大环境保护法》将所有塑料制品列为有毒物质。
The Supreme Court of Canada will hear an appeal of the federal government's ban on single-use plastics, the top court said Thursday. In 2021, the Liberal government listed all plastic-manufactured items as toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act.
一个名为“负责任塑料使用联盟”的行业团体对该命令提出质疑，2023年，联邦法院法官安吉拉·弗兰内托裁定该禁令无效。
An industry group called the Responsible Plastic Use Coalition challenged the order, and in 2023, Federal Court Justice Angela Furlanetto struck down the ban.
在她的裁决中，弗兰内托表示，渥太华将塑料制品（如购物袋、餐具、泡沫容器、搅拌棒和吸管）列为有毒物质的决定过于宽泛。
In her ruling, Furlanetto said Ottawa's decision to classify as toxic plastic-manufactured items (PMI) such as grocery bags, cutlery, styrofoam containers, stir sticks and straws was too sweeping.
上诉法院支持渥太华的有毒塑料清单 法官称渥太华将塑料制品列为有毒的决定“不合理且违宪” 该裁决进一步指出，联邦政府未能证明所有塑料对人类和环境造成危害，并且其行为侵犯了省级管辖权。
Appeal court rules in favour of Ottawa's toxic plastic listing Judge says Ottawa listing plastic items as toxic was 'unreasonable and unconstitutional' The ruling went on to say that the federal government did not demonstrate that all plastics cause harm to humans and the environment and that it was trespassing on provincial jurisdiction.
今年1月，联邦上诉法院维持了政府将塑料列为有毒物质的命令，对加拿大塑料工业造成重大打击。
In January, the Federal Court of Appeal upheld the government's order to list plastics as toxic, delivering a significant blow to Canada's plastics industry.
三名上诉法院法官表示，下级法院的裁决“基于错误的前提”，且该禁令并未侵犯省或地区管辖权。
The three appeal court justices said that the lower-court ruling was "predicated on an incorrect premise" and that the ban did not infringe on provincial or territorial jurisdiction.
联邦上诉法院法官唐纳德·雷尼撰写了该决定，并得到了另外两名法官的支持。该决定全盘否定了2023年联邦法院的裁决，雷尼将其描述为“法院进行‘逐行寻找错误’的典型例子”。
Federal Court of Appeal Justice Donald Rennie authored the decision backed by the two other judges on the bench. It read as an overwhelming rejection of the 2023 Federal Court decision, which Rennie described as "a classic example of a court engaging in a 'line-by-line treasure hunt for error.'"
