Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories would hear any matter that was properly brought before it by a voter or a person who was interested in this issue. They may give it short shrift and dismiss it or they could take a long time to consider it, but they would certainly hear any matter brought before it. In terms of the timing, I have found, when necessary, the Supreme Court will often go to great extent to try to accommodate matters felt to be somewhat pressing, and of great public interest and urgency, to have them resolved quickly. They will often make every effort to accommodate council and to accommodate the needs of various litigants to have matters resolved quickly and expeditiously.
With respect to any appeal, however, flowing from a decision of the Supreme Court, there would be an automatic right-of-appeal to the NWT Court of Appeal. There is no automatic right-of-appeal from the NWT Court of Appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, which means the court gets to pick and choose which cases they will hear. The Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories will hear any case that is properly put before it, I believe. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
