Thanks, Mr. Chair. First, I want to start off by reassuring the Minister that in no way was I ever questioning his integrity earlier in the House and in the Committee of the Whole. The fact that we may agree to disagree or question things is no basis for questioning somebody's integrity. In any event, I firmly support the work of this department, but I did want to ask a question about the waste reduction line on page 91: last year, we had $100,000 in the budget, and this year there's none. I think it may be because there was some extra funding providing there to allow for some program development around electronics recycling, but a lot of that work is funded through the Environment Fund, which is supposed to be sort of a separate, self-sustaining fund. I just want to confirm whether that's what's happened here and that any further ongoing work with regard to adding more materials to the recycling basket, shall I say, would get funded from within the fund, the Environment Fund, itself. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
