I have an issue on this one here with the recycling program. I have a concern from a constituent in the Sahtu that talks about the recycling program and the consumer is specifically in Tulita. For the past several months, there was nowhere in Tulita to return the recyclables and they are paying for the environmental fee, environmental fee upon purchases and that they are paying recycling fees and there is nowhere to get their portion of it refunded. They want to ask the department to see if they can help open up a recycling depot to help the people out. This constituent feels so strongly about that that they are asking the department to instruct the Northern Store to stop charging the fees upon purchase of these recyclable items or let the people know that this is disrespecting the people in the process. Something has got to give, so I look forward to the Minister’s leadership to deal with this issue and see how we could satisfy the consumers where there is no recyclable depots that can open and to location within the community within a short time frame. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
