Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not know that I am the best person to endeavour to answer Mr. Arngna'naaq's question, I believe it involves a legal opinion of sorts. In a sense, perhaps the legal system does contribute to it. As I tried to explain yesterday, the process which the Department of Social Services has responsibility for, at the present time, is in the completion of the forms which then get presented by the Department of Justice to the Supreme Court through our solicitor. I do not believe there is a great deal of delay once the forms are presented to the Supreme Court. The completion of the forms in compliance with requirements of the court is what we are charged with doing, and this is what we have to do very carefully and in that sense it does contribute to a delay.
