Mr. Chairman, I guess it is for lawyers to clarify, but I understand that even if an act says it prevails over all other acts, if it is passed previous to this act, the act that has passed most recently prevails. Again, I understand the two-year provision is there to give us time to make sure it doesn't prevail without diminishing any of the other acts. We take the view, in any case, that this act does not diminish any other act currently standing in the Northwest Territories. For instance, I think it will enhance the Official Languages Act.
