as hired a private company to bring tonnes of mouldering Canadian garbage back to Canada from the Philippines.
The garbage arrived in Manila while the Conservatives were in power, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been forced to deal with the matter.
The dispute began when a Canadian company sent 103 mislabelled containers, which were supposed to contain recyclable plastic, to the Manila International Container Terminal more than five years ago.
The Pacific Centre for Environmental Law and Litigation, a legal non-profit group, recently produced a legal opinion saying the Harper Government violated the Basel Convention, which controls the international trade and disposal of hazardous goods, by failing to take back the garbage.
Nearly 4 years in and the government is still cleaning up Conservative messes.
