Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. You know, this is -- we spoke to a number of communities and their landfills are largely becoming one of their biggest budget crunches. And that's largely due to water license obligations that have been placed on them, environmental regulations that have been placed on them, which are all well and fine but at some point if we're going to keep putting these obligations on communities and their landfills and not provide them any training, capacity building, or further funding, it's just setting them up for failure. And I know quite a few of our landfills are not in compliance with their water license and, really, there's no way they could be without getting some funding. And we also spoke to some of the communities and landfill operators, and there are things that can be done that in the long term are much cheaper. They just simply need the capacity.

There's another recommendation in here for a territorial backhaul program. We've done a couple of them. They've kind of been one-off, and they've been successes. I tell you when you take the hazardous waste out of a community, all of a sudden, they're environmental liabilities go way down, the cost of them managing their dump goes way down, and it gets properly disposed of. We're shipping full barges up the Mackenzie all the time and we're bringing them back empty. I think we need to just standardize some of this and make sure we're supporting our communities so they're not left with landfills that, you know, are giant liabilities for them and giant costs and have no capacity to manage. Thank you, Madam Chair.
