Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question today is for the Minister of RWED and it's in regards to possible legislation for waste reduction and recovery. Mr. Speaker, I have no doubt that there's a lot of interest about this outside of the House and I believe there's a lot of support inside of the House, but there seems to be some misinformation about what we are doing or not doing with regards to this. I'm wondering if the Minister could publicly state as to where he is at, or this government is at, with this legislation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, on the waste reduction and recovery legislation it is something that has a lot of support. As the Department of RWED we've done some work on this and it's just a matter of timing and if we have the resources to get the work done to introduce legislation. I just wanted to tell the Member that I'm happy to announce that we are planning to introduce legislation by June on this legislation. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to thank the Minister and the government for making that commitment. I am though not entirely worry free because I am aware, as well as everyone else here, that we have a major traffic jam going on in our legislative agenda and it does require lawyers to write these bills. I wonder if the Minister could commit to hire contract services if necessary to make sure there are enough lawyers to write the law so that we could debate it and pass it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I work with my colleague, the Minister of Justice, and we're looking at all the different options, not only on this legislation but the other ones that are there. I think the options of hiring independent drafters is on the drawing board and we're going to pursue that as well. Thank you.
