Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Justice. Mr. Speaker, we all know that the federal Minister of Justice tabled new gun control legislation this week. Through the good offices of Mr. Kakfwi, the federal Minister had a chance to directly hear concerns of Members of this House regarding the potential impact of this new legislation on northerners, particularly those who maintain a traditional lifestyle. We told him how people use guns, how they share firearms, et cetera. I would like to ask the Minister of Justice, who I believe has had a chance to review this complicated piece of legislation, if he feels that the concerns expressed this past fall by northerners and Members of this Assembly were heard and are reflected in this proposed legislation? Thank you.
