The premier of Newfoundland and Labrador says this province could very well be the first in Canada to ban single-use plastic shopping bags. - Premier Dwight Ball"My personal view is I want to get those single-use plastic bags out of our system. Plastic bags find their way into waterways and oceans, and Ball said more people seem to be open to finding alternatives. "I remember back a few years ago as a retailer, when we took single-use plastic bags out of one of our retail outlets. "I think this province could be the first province … anywhere in Canada to have a ban on single-use plastic bags."
