Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. My question here today is for the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources just relating to our recycling program which rolled out last year. I know that the program has been receiving good reviews and good public participation. That is a good direction that everybody in the North has taken seriously. My concern is with the smaller community depots, Mr. Speaker, that rely on the larger deposit centres in the urban areas to drop off all their recyclable materials. There seems to be some discrepancy on how these materials are refunded and paid for. In the smaller communities, the small depots are paying per unit on the cans and the bottles and the containers that they are taking in and they are bringing them to the larger centres. The larger centres are telling them that they are basing them on the weight that they are bringing in. There is some discrepancy on the refunding and the receiving of the money that they have dished out in collecting the recyclables. I am just wondering what the policy is of the government on the recycling. Is it based on the number of cans or bottles, or by the weight? Can the Minister just answer that first? Thanks.
