Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will be supporting this motion. Simply put, this motion that we put forward shows a progressive response, because this motion speaks about fairness. How does this government think it is fair that the small communities suffer the burden that they have to carry what they can't go cash in? We have this advertisement saying that there is cash in the trash. There is no cash in their trash. It is just cash in the government's pockets, so it is cashless trash. It is tasteless trash, too. I don't think it is fair.

This motion does not restrict any community that can set up a depot. I would like to see the government, today, stand up, and maybe the good Minister of ENR will stand up and say, after today, I will pass an initiative to make sure that there is at least one government office in every darn community that will accept these containers at least once a month.

I want him to speak to this motion today. Let's hear him today. Let's hear it today that he passes an initiative immediately that this will truly be the way we will deal with this.

But there is no true plan about the 20 percent of those communities. Now we are putting an unreasonable burden on those communities for no reason at all. Nobody is against recycling here. I didn't hear one single person say recycling is bad. I didn't hear one single person say no one wants to participate in recycling. The fact is, if big cities and small towns across Canada can do it, then we can do it, too. But it is unfair, again, to put a burden on someone, in who knows what community, who can't cash in these cans. It is not fair at all. It is about equity, Mr. Speaker. The bottom line is, this does not stop communities like Yellowknife to hold a depot, or whatever regional centre, to have these things. This is a progressive position that talks about fairness. That is all. We are not about putting burdens on people. So instead of moving at the speed of government, as I say, which is pretty slow some days, I think we need to move quickly on this decision that affects the little people, the real people out there who can't truly turn their trash into cash, as the Minister likes to say. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
