Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is in response to a question asked by Mr. Patterson on the 27th of April with regard to appointments of community justices of the peace.

A Justice of the Peace is appointed under section 2.01 of the Justices of the Peace Act by the Commissioner in Executive Council. The term of the appointment is until the JP no longer resides in the NWT, reaches 75 years of age, resigns or is removed by the review council after hearing a complaint or matter relating to that particular Justice of the Peace.

Therefore, in most cases, a person with a Justice of the Peace appointment will retain the appointment if he or she moves from the NWT community where the appointment was made, to another NWT community. Thank you.
