Canada has made an offer to the Philippines to repatriate six dozen shipping containers full of rotting garbage that were erroneously shipped there six years ago, the federal environment minister said today. "We've had a team that's been working extremely hard, including from Environment and Climate Change Canada, to find a solution. According to Adam Austen, a spokesperson for Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland, the Philippines has yet to respond to Canada's offer. If the offer is accepted, the trash would return to Canada through the port of Vancouver before disposal. About 100 incorrectly labelled containers full of garbage were sent to the Philippines from Canada about six years ago.
