Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would like to thank the Minister for his answer. There is only one outstanding problem that we all have and that is the new federal law on firearms that is going to be made law and activated by April 1. I know the Minister indicated that the federal Minister is receptive to his arguments on all our behalf in the north and that there might be an extension. If the regulation is to be enforced as of the regulation date, how soon can we know for sure if we have an extension on that? What will happen is with this new regulation, you have to do a number of things to store your firearms, which many aboriginal people I know have never done in their lives. So we will have to buy steel cases and that will be difficult to do by April 1. How soon will we know for sure whether we are going to have an extension? Thank you.
