Mr. Speaker, as the honourable Member knows in our system of government that power does not alone rest with the Minister. What I am committed to doing is presenting to the Standing Committee on Legislation, a legislative action plan which would deal with that issue among other issues. I think the process next would call for hearings, submissions from the public, and input from Members of this Assembly to determine the final shape of the legislative package. However, Mr. Speaker, I will commit to recognizing that this is a very important and sensitive issue which must be addressed, and I am well aware of the Members views and the standing committees views that there should be a more active role permitted legislatively by the Minister. This will be addressed in the legislative action plan, but where that will go from here, I cannot guarantee. Thank you.
