Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I, personally, am very much in favour of this devolution. I would like to ask the Minister if he could outline for Members of this Assembly what some of the advantages would be to the people of the Northwest Territories if prosecutions were transferred to the Northwest Territories. For example, would it give the Northwest Territories an advantage in pursuing community justice programs in the communities? Would it give the Northwest Territories an advantage in dealing with sensitive issues like prosecutions under possible new federal gun control legislation? Thank you.
