Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, in his opening comments last night, the Minister mentioned that one of the goals this year was to bring into place a beverage container recovery program, which would be revenue neutral. I know the Minister spoke early on in his mandate of Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development about how important he saw this. I know I have a number of constituents that have come to me in the past few years asking why we cannot have this kind of program in the North. The Minister did talk about wanting to do this last year. I was wondering if we could find out what has been the stumbling block. Why have we not been able to get this up and running sooner and are we certain we can get it going in this fiscal year that we are talking about now? Thank you.
