Yes, Mr. Speaker, perhaps my earlier response was not focusing on the full scope of what the Member was asking. I was thinking more about the specific type of matters which can only be dealt with by the Territorial and Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories. The Member is correct, it is the view of some people involved in justice, that there are many charges that could be dealt with, for instance, by Justices of the Peace. There are cases with roles for community justice committees as well. With proper training and support, this is another way in which the court system could be more efficiently administered to the satisfaction of the community.
