My question is for the Government Representative in the Senate. Government Representative, on Monday a journalist asked the Prime Minister what kind of steps his family had taken to cut back on plastic waste, and he replied, and I quote:

We have recently switched to drinking water bottles out of . . . water out of, uh . . . when we have water bottles out of a plastic, uh . . . sorry, away from plastic, towards paper, uh . . . like drink-box water bottles sort of thing.

I read and reread this answer very carefully, and I’m not sure that I really understand it. Senator, do you have a translation in both official languages of the Prime Minister’s nonsensical answer, or can you give us an answer to the question of what practical steps the Trudeau family is taking to cut back on plastics?

Since the Prime Minister admitted that he drinks water from drink-boxes, which was probably purchased from the United States, could the Leader of the Government explain why the Prime Minister does not drink City of Ottawa tap water?
