Committee, we are on page 11-9, Transportation, information item, revenue summary. Questions?

Thank you, Minister. Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witnesses into the House.

If I could ask the Minister to introduce your witnesses, please.

Thank you for that reminder, Mr. Krutko. Mr. McLeod.

I appreciate that. That’s a fair response. It’s A.(2), on page 2 of the letter. I’m happy to see the Minister has it in front of him. Basically, there’s the point A.(2) and then the immediate sentence below that rejects the opportunity for GNWT to take on the authority that this mechanism is providing us. Why would we do that? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Minister Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Mr. Krutko, I believe this is on revenue rather than expenditures. I wonder if your question might be appropriate when we get to expenditures. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you for that information. I am just wondering what division is that in. It must have been in an earlier one, an administrative division of some kind.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. I remind Members to direct the question through the chair. Mr. Krutko, anything further?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to congratulate the people of the Northwest Territories on their major success in taking up the challenge of recycling. Yesterday, the Minister of ENR added seven new beverage container types to the list of containers that can be recycled. Responsible citizens can now return 20 types of drink containers for return of deposits. In three short years, the number of communities with recycling depots has risen to 32 and over 100 million containers or 81 percent of drink containers sold are being returned for deposit.

We can see the benefits everywhere. Not only has...

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Minister Miltenberger.
