Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Minister is absolutely right. Our communities are filling up with these things. Given the infrastructure that we have and the back-hauling we have, barges and empty trucks coming back right from the Arctic coast all the way back into the South Slave where there is access to roads and rail, being that the infrastructure is all in place and it would be economical to back-haul these items, what would it take to organize a system here in the Northwest Territories to put this in place? It used to be that people could load up their vehicles and take these used products back into Alberta, but at the Alberta depots when they see the NWT licence plate they will not accept these anymore. We are basically forced to waste these products and not be very environmentally conscious because our government has nothing in place for a return and deposit system. What would it take to put something like that in place? Thank you.
