Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The original position of this government that was put forward by the previous Minister of Justice was partly in response to concerns put forward by other MLAs and regions in this area. Mr. Speaker, in that sense we are following the wishes of the constituency and what we also believe to be the right thing to do. I have brought this issue up with the Minister of Justice, Anne McClellan, recently in Regina, and both of our MPs for the Northwest Territories, Ms. Karetak-Lindell and Ms. Blondin-Andrew know full well what our position is. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
