Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I take it that this legislation has had second reading and has gone to the committee of the House of Commons on Justice and Legal Affairs. As you know, Mr. Speaker, this is a very important issue for people in the north, especially aboriginal people whose way of life is living off the land and in many cases the use of firearms that is quite engrained into our social way of life. With this new gun control legislation it's going to be infringing on our way of life, and it may be infringing on our aboriginal rights to live off the land. As a result, it is very important to us.

When the Justice and Legal Affairs committee is conducting its hearings, I would like to ask the Minister if this committee will be travelling to the north and, if they do travel to the north, where would they go? It would be very good for people to know this information. Thank you.
