Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I have a question I want to direct to the Minister of Renewable Resources. It's somewhat following along the lines of my colleague, Mr. Dent. In the press that we receive from Alberta, we read about all of the cutbacks that the Klein government is taking in many areas, not only health. But, the fact is that we have a great dependency on Alberta for many of our services that are not available here in the territories.

The environmental waste program that we have in the Northwest Territories...We have a protocol with the province of Alberta, the Swan Hills incinerator, as an example. I read in the press that major cutbacks have taken place and it's affecting other provinces. I would like to ask the Minister of Renewable Resources whether the waste disposal program and protocol that we have with Alberta...Is this still in effect, or have the cutbacks affected it?
