Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I don't have an official report as I and other committee Members took part in reading our report back on the review of Bill 22, Waste Recovery and Reduction Act, into the House yesterday.

Just in general, Mr. Chairman, there was general support from the large group of presenters that did come out to our public reviews that were held during the month of August and into September, finally concluding here in Yellowknife in this month of October.

There were four motions of a minor, non-substantive nature that were moved. We reported the bill as ready for Committee of the Whole as amended and reprinted and are prepared to go through this. As I stated, there was general support, but also some concerns with how the regulations would be formed. We were happy to hear the Minister state that he would have the advisory board or committee work with the department in possibly helping with the setup of regulations that would bring ease to a lot of the concerns out there. Concerns around how this would be implemented, what kind of paperwork would be in place and how would it affect the small businesses that are out there and would now have to collect this fee and turn it into the government.

With that, Mr. Chairman, we look forward to proceeding with this and bringing it to conclusion with passage of this bill. Thank you.
