Agreed.

Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to follow through with a bit more detail on the beverage container recovery program. I am a big fan of it, but I would like to explore a few things that are put before us here. Ms. Lee has already asked about the administrator. I would just like to follow through with some of this other detail. For the $10,000 listed here, was public education material produced? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, for that detail, I would have to ask the Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development to provide that.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Mr. Bell.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am told that the money was committed and/or expended and there was development of some materials that went out to engage public interest in this. In addition, there is another $10,000 for the advisory committee. We talked about that a little earlier. I am on the verge of appointing that committee and there has been some preliminary work done, but my understanding is the $65,000 will have been spent by year end.

Thank you, Mr. Bell. Mr. Braden.
