Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. In the past year, there has been much discussion about Supreme Court rulings which allowed drunkenness in a sexual assault case to be used as a defence. I noticed in this week's local newspaper a case in the Northwest Territories where a lawyer is going to use this ploy as a defence argument for one of his clients. In October 1994, the Minister of Justice indicated that there were ongoing discussions with all the provinces and the federal government about using the defence of intoxication. My question to the Minister of Justice is what current discussions have been held and what is the current status on this issue?
