Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Justice. Mr. Speaker, over the past couple of months, I've had a few phone calls with respect to the maintenance enforcement program. My constituents have been very appreciative of the program, providing they could get in touch with the maintenance enforcement officers. However, the apparent problem appears to be the maintenance enforcement program has a toll-free number which all northerners can take advantage of. Unfortunately, though, once you get through, you get a recording and you are supposed to leave a message. Many of my constituents have indicated that their messages they have left have never been answered, and it's quite frustrating trying to reach them. They

did state, however, that once you do reach them they are very helpful.

I would like to ask the Minister it he can find out from his department what might be the problem when individuals are attempting to reach maintenance enforcement officers in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.

Yes, Mr. Speaker, I'm sure the people within the maintenance enforcement section would be very concerned to hear that they have some members of the public who are having difficulty reaching them since they are a very highly motivated group of individuals and very committed to providing a top quality service. I will bring this to their attention and ask them to make sure that the concern of the Member for Thebacha and all other Members are dealt with as soon as possible to ensure that this does not happen again. Thank you.
