Thank you, Mr. Minister. Final supplementary, Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in view of the challenges that most communities are facing with identifying suitable land fill sites and capacity for land fill, if the blue box program in communities would reduce the amount going into the land fill, would the Minister commit to considering in the future whether money would be available to communities for such a program? Thank you.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. The honourable Minister responsible for RWED, Mr. Antoine.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for Range Lake, Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question again is for the Minister of Finance. I just want to follow up on my earlier question that had to do with the high cost and discrepancies in the price of fuel. I have the same question about the cost of propane. The cost of propane went up very rapidly throughout last year and I do not believe that it has not come down at all. Could the Minister commit to looking at the cause of that increase for propane as well and see what can be done to reduce that? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. The honourable Minister responsible for Finance, Mr. Handley.

Mr. Speaker, yes I will do the same for propane as I do for gasoline. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Supplementary, Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, a short supplementary. It has not been made clear that the Minister is taking these commitments as notice. To make sure that the answer comes to the House, may I get the Minister to commit to take it as notice so that I can have a reply here? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I am not sure you can ask the Minister that. The Minister only takes questions at notice if he does not currently have an answer. The Minister did answer your question. He did not take it as notice, though. Is that your question, Ms. Lee? I will let you rephrase that. Ms. Lee.

Well, I am just following the rules I learned. Mr. Speaker, may I get the Minister to respond to those questions in the House in some way so that everyone can hear it? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. The honourable Minister responsible for Finance, Mr. Handley.

Mr. Speaker, yes. The question was whether I would look into the price of propane and what was causing the difference between Edmonton and Yellowknife. The answer is yes, I will do that and I will also do it with gasoline. I will certainly make this information available to the Members and if I have it in a timely basis I would certainly consider making a Minister's statement on it if that would help get the information out.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for the Mackenzie Delta, Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. The honourable Minister responsible for Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development, Mr. Antoine.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Supplementary, Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have to agree with the Minister, I think we have to have a system in place that we are able to analyze what is happening out there and what the implications are, socially and economically, for communities and affected communities in regard to a pipeline up and down the Mackenzie Valley. I would like to ask the Minister, does he have resources available within his department to assist with such a conference? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. The honourable Minister responsible for Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development, Mr. Antoine.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Supplementary, Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in regard to the process, is that through an application process or is it a request by a Member or organization to request such a conference?
