Thank you, Madam Chair. I didn't hear the last couple words of the Minister there, even though I have the earpiece. Maybe he can answer it as I ask this. Does the Department of Finance recognize in any way that value of the returned bottles to the depots, whether they're crushed, shredded or other means? Do they recognize that in the contract, whereas the depot may be setting themselves for a refund? Therefore, they would be receiving, quite potentially as I see it, four cents for each bottle or can, plus the value of cashing them in at a southern location through that recycling process. I tread on thin ice as I suggest the double dipping of this particular case, so maybe if the Minister could expand a little further. Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
