My third return to oral question asked by Mr. Dent on February 17, 1994, regarding Social Services' response to family law review recommendations.
Yesterday, Mr. Dent asked when the discussion paper from Social Services on the family law review would be available for distribution. The paper will be mailed this weekend to a wide distribution list including Members of the Legislative Assembly, hamlet and band councils, aboriginal organizations, the Native Women's Association and Pauktuutit.
This paper was prepared in consultation with the Department of Justice and is intended to provide potential solutions to the problems identified in the family law review.
I and my colleague, the Minister of Justice, realize the need for a timely response to this report and for an early start on the legislative changes that will be required.
Thank you, Madam Speaker. Those are my responses.
