Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it is an issue I am looking at recently with the retirement of Judge Davis. Because of the need to establish a judicial system for Nunavut, and the fact that almost all the judges currently reside in the western territory, I am looking at the possibility of a term appointment of a judge to fill Judge Davis' position until March 31st, 1999. Until we can determine a plan within the Department of Justice on how we are going to address the judicial needs in the two new territories, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
