Another thing I find curious is we talk about the success of our beverage container recycling and how people are turning them back in and it is a wonderful program. When it comes to the collecting of those empty beverage containers from outlying communities, it is true that we, as a government, pay somebody to drive there in a truck to pick them up and do not take full advantage of back hauls. When you talk about wasting gas and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions...Okay, let’s just say that we are bringing beverage containers back from Fort Smith to Hay River to the depot there. Would we be always looking to maximize the opportunities for backhauling in an empty truck for those containers or would we be giving somebody a separate contract to drive out there empty and bring those bottles back? Thank you.
