Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The reason we initially went back to Minister Bell is when RWED was one department, he was involved with this. Now that's falling into Minister Miltenberger's side of the equation. The fees will address cost to collect, process, transport containers, and to administer the program. An unredeemed deposit, when everybody goes forward and buys their pop or their juice packs and pays their deposit, if they don't return them back to the depot, that money that is unredeemed as they say, will go towards the administration costs of the program and we'll cover the other costs that are there.

All the revenue and expenses for the program will be managed through a special purpose fund known as the environment fund and the program will pay for itself through the surcharge of each container sold in the NWT, except for the start-up funding. That's some of the start-up funding that we have identified in earlier discussions. It will not be dependent on funding from the GNWT. So it is meant to be a self-sustaining program. A repayment of start-up funding is expected to occur, as Minister Bell stated, over a five-year period from implementation of this. This was the plan from the start of it to where we are now. Unfortunately, trying to get the regulations in place and how it would work in communities is taking longer than was anticipated initially.
