So this means that my constituents and I are either going to be stockpiling our bottles in our limited housing, or throwing them away at a personal loss. Mr. Speaker, we already suffer a high cost of living. I don't understand how the Minister of ENR can rationalize going ahead with this program until all the communities can recycle. This is not fair to the Sahtu. We need a recycling plant, too. Mr. Speaker, I am really scared that this is the precedent-setting mood. What programs are allowed to merge, and what programs will, probably, in our case, exclude our segment of the population.

Mr. Speaker, I agree with recycling 100 percent; I agree with protecting the environment 100 percent; but I don't agree that 75 percent of the Territories should be able to recycle and get refunded, while the rest of the population, such as the Sahtu, has to pay for it, just like many other things that they do in the Northwest Territories. Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker.
