The Federal Court canceled a ministerial order listing manufactured plastic materials as toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, stating that the category is too broad and that the government exceeded its constitutional limits.

This decision has implications for the ban imposed by the government on certain single-use plastics, including straws, grocery bags, fast food containers, and others.
