Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this project is a good idea, and we acknowledge the fact that we have some communities that we haven't made arrangements with yet. We still have some time left, but the reality is that we are going to unfold this and it would be almost impossible to just pick and choose individual communities. This cost is put on the distributors and it goes to the communities, so Members can keep their cans and their bottles of beverages and we will compensate them. The program is there, and we're going to do everything in our power to make sure this works. We have coverage for over 80 percent of the population of the Northwest Territories, and it's important that we start moving on this. There was enormous pressure that we were dragging our feet, that we were delaying and we weren't in fact getting this program up and running. Well, we're going to do that. It's going to take some time, but we're going to work it through and get it up and running. Thank you.
