Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the intent is to have a program or a process in every community. When this was rolled out, it was discussed that the potential was initially to get the depots up and running and have the smaller communities look at ways that they may be able to stockpile or keep the recycling material until they could either get it into the other communities' depots by barge or by ice roads. That was discussed. This is the initial plan to get it up and running and they are hoping that in the future that they will be able to establish them in almost every community....

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, ITI is the department that is directly involved with the polishing itself, on setting up the 10 percent allocation for companies in the North.

Yes, I wish to.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Voytilla can give that detail.

Yes, Mr. Chairman, I am prepared to proceed. Shall I start with opening comments?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the way this deal has been put forward and agreed to is the amount we are entering into this agreement here is capping the GNWT's liability. The federal government has much more in the area of coming up with their share of the costs of doing remediation there. This is our portion that is over. The drawdown will happen over 10 years, but because the agreement was signed in 2004-05, we have to account in that year the full liability, but over a 10-year period will be drawn down as the site work and service area is done. The federal government will be...
