Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is our intention to work with community groups, but there are one-time start-up costs that we have to incur and we have to make an investment in this. That's what we have been talking about. Under some of the equipment that's going into the community depots, there will be pallet jacks, bags, bins, cash registers, phones, fax machines. There is a requirement for some cold storage. At the regional processing centres, there's money being spent on vertical bailers, glass crushers, forklifts, fibre bags, plastic bins, et cetera. The Member is right, we are partnering with local organizations. The total start-up cost of the program is $1.143 million.
