Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Justice. Mr. Speaker, some time ago before this session started, I had asked for some information to be researched. It seems, Mr. Speaker, that we are repeatedly learning about more and more cases that have been tried by one of our territorial Supreme Court judges which are then overturned by a higher court on appeal. Mr. Speaker, I am speaking of the record of the Hon. Justice Ted Richard, who I know is a federally appointed judge of the Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories. I would like to ask the Minister of Justice if he could tell this House whether expenditures are accrued to the Government of the Northwest Territories in terms of court administration costs when Supreme Court judgments are overturned and cases must be reheard.
