Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am speaking against this motion. I think we cannot wait any longer to get going with this program. I represent a community where the people are geared up and ready to go. I do understand the difficulties of trying to do a partial implementation on this. There are all kinds of reasons why a partial implementation, only in the centres that have depots, is not practical. The Minister has said that he is going to have a mechanism in place in every community for the start of the program, so let's hold his feet to the fire. Let's let it go, and then watch him figure it out. He has made the commitment here in the House, so now we will let him do the dance. But I think that to try to defer this or postpone this...This is about 20 years past due now.

To do anything that is going to defer it now...Now listen, the folks in the small communities where this is going to add something to their grocery bill, if it adds to the grocery bill the amount of the deposit on the bottles, if they can't immediately get their money back, then there is still cash in the trash. They just might not get it this instant. Maybe it is slightly deferred. Maybe it is a community organization that decides to, collectively, gather all of their recyclable beverage containers, and it comes back in a lump sum. There are lots of empty barges coming back right down the Mackenzie Valley every year that can bring all the containers back to Hay River for recycling. There is going to be a depot in Hay River. They can come right back down the river. I don't know how they are going to do it, but I cannot support anything that is going to see any deferral of this. It is long past overdue. Let's get on with it. Thank you.
