According to the Minister's statement, the Special Advisor "submitted his report to me (on the Blue Box Program) with recommendations on how to effectively transition the program to producer responsibility while improving recycling and increasing products that can go into the blue box. This report will inform the ministry's next steps for improving the Blue Box Program to reduce costs, increase diversion rates and reduce plastic waste and litter."

The release indicates that Minister Yurek will "look forward to providing an update later this summer on our next steps, including how we will consult with stakeholders, the public and Indigenous communities."
