Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The draft proposal, as I understand it, is one borrowed from Alberta, and it does include some comments made from groups in the Northwest Territories. It has some merit in that sense, but we cannot just take that proposal from a private group and rubber stamp it right through the Assembly and make it into law. The government through the Department of Justice has to go through a drafting process. It has to look at all the implications that it might have on other parts of the government, et cetera. I would also point out that the Government House Leader has given very clear direction to all Ministers that because of our full legislative agenda, there is only specific criteria of laws that we can work in, in the next year and half. This is not included in that criteria.
