A spokesman for Global Affairs Canada told the Canadian Press on Thursday Canada made a formal offer earlier this week to have more than six dozen containers of Canadian household trash returned to the Port of Vancouver. The rest was mostly household garbage and electronic waste, including used adult diapers and kitchen scraps. But it was another year before a working group was established between Canada and the Philippines to sort out the matter. Austen did not say what the details of the Canadian offer were, including who will pay for the garbage’s trip back across the Pacific or how much it will cost. Once it’s on Canadian soil, though, Environment and Climate Change Canada will be responsible for ensuring the waste gets disposed of properly.
