Mr. Chairman, it is my view that it is federal legislation. It is federal legislation that is going to be a horrendously expensive proposition for the federal government. It is the federal government that will have to take on the cost of implementing this piece of legislation, not the Government of the Northwest Territories. So it is my view that we have to convince the federal government that they should be paying for the cost of the northern people providing some cost-saving advice to them about their legislation. At this time, this government, the departments of Justice in particular with Renewable Resources, will provide some advice and information to groups upon request in preparing presentations. By and large, the responsibility goes to the federal government for this. Thank you.
