If the company is opening a file on management of biomedical waste in Quebec, it would need to have its lobbyist look at updating the "Regulation respecting biomedical waste" sections of the Environment Quality Act. http://legisquebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/ShowDoc/cr/Q-2,%20r.%2012

The language on the Quebec books is all about incineration. The language would need to be updated to allow for thermal processes (like plasma gasification) that are not incineration and that do not create ash that needs to be managed.

Side Note: there is California air pollution angle to this idea. Here in Los Angeles, due to the tragic surge of Covid deaths, air quality regulators had to lift limits on cremations to deal with the grim backlog: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/18/los-angeles-covid-coronavirus-deaths-cremation-pandemic. The existence of regulatory limits to biomedical waste incineration suggests an incentive to acquire technology that would increase throughput without increasing pollution.

Caveat: I am not a lawyer. Just an investor long on PYR.
