I appreciate the Minister’s comments. I disagree, though, that we should be spending the money in this way when I think the Minister is well aware that we need to be recycling more and more things. We’ve had a request and a commitment from the Minister to add all kinds of things to the things and to list of things that we are recycling that have not been done. To my mind, and I know to much of the public, that is the way we should be going with those funds that they have paid for recycling.
Another consideration, which I hear almost weekly, is that we should not be having an environmental tax on milk containers. People should not be paying for the environmental fee on milk containers. We want people to be providing milk to their kids so… A modest amount, probably about this much, but it would amount to a real benefit for our people.
I’d say there are lots of priorities for these dollars that are coming, our public dollars, as they support recycling.
