Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do recall that this very same issue of the validity of the residency requirement for the NWT Plebiscite Act was litigated around 1982 when the last territorial plebiscite was held. I would be pleased to provide Members of this House with a briefing on that decision, which I understand basically validated the residency requirement and which, I believe, would state the law as it now exists on that subject. So I will provide the Members with a briefing on that decision and its implications on the Plebiscite Act.
