Mr. Speaker, this was a subject that was raised with, at that time, the newly-appointed Minister of Justice in Ottawa, Allan Rock. I did have some issues that I wanted to initiate discussions with him on; this was one of them. As you know, the issue of the gun control legislation, Bill C-68, has consumed the Minister and has sidetracked many of the issues we have brought to that Minister in recent months. It is my hope that whether he wins or loses, whether he survives or is slightly tattered in pursuing his gun legislation, he is still morally and principally intact enough to continue without any vindictiveness to conclude discussions on these elements, one of which is the appointment of a fourth judge and the appointment of a chief justice of the Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
