Mr. Chairman, I understand the definitive objective is to place before Members and the public, those things that the department thinks are reasonable objectives to try to accomplish within the budget year. The previous Ministers of Justice, both Mr. Ballantyne and Mr. Patterson, worked very hard to convince the federal Minister that prosecution should be devolved to the territorial government. What they received, as I understand, is a very flat emphatic "no". That is the end of the discussion. So, the department has said that this is no longer a reasonable objective to place under definitive objectives. That is why it is not there. The suggestion is we have to wait for another day, and I am not, at this time, of the view that it is a reasonable objective to continue placing in here. That is why it is not there. Thank you.
