Thank you Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question follows on my Member's statement earlier, regarding the Waste Recovery Reduction Act. Unfortunately, it seems that we have come to a certain point within this work that it seems to have come to a halt. There has been some work being done, from my understanding, which is a bit disappointing because a couple of weeks ago, we reviewed some information from the department and corresponded back with them to say that this could be dealt with during this sitting. In fact, in correspondence from the Inuvik Recycling Society, they've informed me that they had made comments on the Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development's discussion paper of May 2001. So this has been an ongoing matter for quite some time. So I would like to know from the Minister if he is still prepared to bring forward legislation during this sitting, so that we can hopefully have it done within the life of our government? Thank you.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my intention in this regard to the waste recovery and reduction legislation is I intend to try to move as quickly as I can a paper to Cabinet for their approval very shortly. This is a part of our process to try to get things rolling, so that we can have perhaps legislation in the life of this government.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Knowing that we have four to five weeks of session scheduled, does the Minister think that it's possible to have it introduced during this sitting?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think it's not doable. We are working with the Department of Justice, their drafters and so forth. I don't think it's possible to have anything for this sitting. However, we are aiming for legislation for the June session. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Would he be able to inform Members of this House as it's prepared to be brought forward so we will be able to address it as committees to make sure that we have a public consultation on this process? We know there has been previous consultations, so will he be able to inform us as to when he will be able to come forward closer to that date? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance. Mr. Speaker, I believe that the formula finance agreement is up for renewal in a year. Can the Minister advise the House whether or not negotiations for a new formula financing deal have yet commenced?
