Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Council on the Status of Women has expressed outrage with regard to the absolute discharge of Paul Quassa, even though he was found guilty of sexual assault, and rightly so. Mr. Speaker, I have not spoken with a woman yet who has not expressed grave disappointment regarding this sexual assault case. I would like to ask the Minister responsible for the Status of Women: Will he be making a public statement on the government's position regarding this case?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have not communicated with women's groups across the Territories. We have women's groups in different regions and communities, and we also have women's groups here in Yellowknife. Once I have communicated with women's groups, I will be in a position to respond to the Member. I will take the question as notice. Thank you.
