Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'd like to make some comments on the Minister's opening remarks, in some areas more than others. As I mentioned in my reply to the budget as well, I talked about the lack of even a mention in the budget about agriculture in the Northwest Territories. I do have quite a number of questions that I want to ask on agriculture. But before I get into that area -- and that might not be until tomorrow, Mr. Chairman -- I wanted to just bring up the waste recovery and reduction act the department is planning on introducing. I would like to know, Mr. Chairman, where they are with this recovery act. I know they are planning on introducing this in June. Is there a pretty good assurance that that will come in in June? One thing I had brought up to the department some time ago is the fact that Hay River is involved in a recovery program with a waste recovery outfit from the South, Hazco. I had suggested that the department talk to the town of Hay River officials to see if there were any things they could combine efforts in to promote and tie in the waste reduction and recovery in the Territories along with the project they have going on there. I was wondering if the Minister could tell me if his department has done any consultation with Hay River, and if it's pretty certain that this legislation will come through in June. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
