Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Then, when it prevails, that act or section of the act is no longer effective and that act would have to be amended. My understanding is that our Languages Act is protected by the Northwest Territories Act which ultimately cannot change in this Legislature alone. It would have to go to the federal government to get changed. With this bill, we don't have to go and ask the federal government for permission to make this kind of legislation. I understand they have a year to strike this kind of deal down if it conflicts with what they call a proper bill, I guess -- I don't know; whatever you call it. How could we make a section in our act that would be stronger than the legislation that is protected by our constitution?
