Thank you, Madam Chair. The last part of the earlier response was that the depots take care of the Molson and Labatts bottles through their operations and send them south for refund from those outfits. One of the factors involved in giving the handling fee to the depots as well as providing the refund to them is to pay the people that bring back the bottles and cans for returns, that is when they ship their containers south to recycling centres, they have to pay for the handling fees themselves. So the handling fees and freight are taken out of the earnings that they would receive from that. That is one of the reasons we don't count and collect the money from them. We just give them the handling fee and go forward from there.
