Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question today is for the Minister responsible for the environment. Recycling is one area of protecting our environment that I and I am sure many other Members of this Legislature addressed during our election campaigns, but it is not something that I have heard discussed too much since then. It has been brought up again by my constituents and I have some questions for the Minister on that today. I think that everyone agrees that northerners need to be more involved in the environment. Recycling is one way that we can do that. We need to find alternatives to costly landfill sites because of the amount of plastic and glass bottles, aluminum beer and pop cans which find their way into our northern communities and never seem to find their way out. Partially because I believe, there is no deposit system in place. There is not a monetary incentive for people to be environmental conscience when it comes to these recyclable materials in the north. I am just wondering when was the last time that this government considered a comprehensive plan or a campaign for recycling. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
