There is a letter that was sent to the chairman, Mr. Allmand, requesting that they visit the Northwest Territories, and that the committee of this Legislature which I am chairing be allowed some time to make a presentation, and that time also be allocated for those groups from the Northwest Territories that wish to make presentations on their own behalf. I've also requested a meeting with the federal Minister of Justice for the week after Easter, in mid-April, to again impress upon him the nature of our concerns, but also to remind him that we support elements of his legislation. There are just certain elements of it which we find are too severe, such as the sentencing components contained within the Criminal Code part, and the administrative nightmare that would result from the imposition of a national registration system. Thank you.
