Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Justice. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, March 6th, in reply to a question by Mr. Lewis, the Minister of Justice said that the government had to visit the question as to whether the state is responsible for victims of crime. He indicated that that was a very difficult philosophical question to address. The question was whether or not, at the time he made that response to Mr. Lewis, he was aware that the previous Minister of Justice had signed, on behalf of the Government of the Northwest Territories, the statements of basic principles of justice for victims of crime.
