Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I, too, am supporting this motion. Just speaking from the smaller communities' perspective, coming from Wekweeti, and all they're speaking about, the elders or even the young ones, just interpretation will be a substantial cost. Although we say we can use ITI workers, small communities don't have ITI workers. They do, to some degree, but interpretation would cost extra money, as well. Here we are debating back and forth; an example is the Fort Smith day care issue, back and forth about the money. If we go ahead with this, it is going to create more dollars in the interpretation, just specifically on the interpretation process.
I think there is miscommunication happening here with the communities. As Calvin was saying, he got a phone call saying, on November 1st we are going to get a rebate. We are hearing that already. I was surprised, too, when I was getting those calls, because we need to explain to the public that there is advertisement happening and you get less back. But speaking from the smaller community's perspective, I don't think we're ready right now. According to this motion, therefore, the recovery program in every community without approved depots will be delayed. That means there is existing recycling areas that will continue, but without the depot that we're talking about here, the smaller communities that don't have it, and it's not fair to put the burden on them, extra costs, because we have individuals that are traditionalists that go out on the land for two or three months, and they buy $5,000 worth of canned goods. It's going to be a substantial cost to them, too. I'm just talking about one traditionalist hunter or trapper, but there are a few of them, specifically in my region. So it's going to have an impact on them. We're certainly not ready to take on that task, at this point. That is why I'm standing here before the House. I'm supporting this motion of delay for those without a depot. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
