The Member for Great Slave clearly is in a violent frame of mind today. Kicking in the door, smashing people over the head. We’re talking about a 25 cent levy on a plastic bag that some Members have called the bane of our existence. At every community and everywhere I’ve been, people have been pushing us to get rid of them. Sometimes when you knock softly and you open the door a crack and see if it’s okay to come in, people might just tell you to get lost. So this is an issue whose time has come. This is a deterrent. This is a consumption levy. People don’t have to spend 25 cents. That’s a very simple personal choice. But I will commit to the Member, like I said, he sent me the e-mail just shortly before we came into this House, and we will seriously look at that as we roll out the next number of months to get ready for the implementation in the fall.
