Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, the fundamental incentive is the love everybody has for the land and the need and desire to have a pristine environment in our communities and outside our communities. That goes, once again, to people making the individual choice to take their last drink of pop and throw their can in the ditch or throw their garbage bags or shopping bags outside or in the garbage. We have a program coming into effect November 1st, which will encourage and put funds to help communities set up recycling programs to start recycling bottles and cans and hopefully to broaden out over time to recycle other materials, as well. I appreciate the Member's concern and I am committing to him that we will work to make sure that that program is fully implemented in all the communities over time. On the broader issue of having people respect the environment and not throw their garbage down, that's an education issue that we will work with him and with Education and all the other departments that are involved at the community level. Thank you.
