Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Justice. It is in regard to an issue that was raised this week at the Beaufort Leaders meeting. It has to do with legal services for the community of Holman. Holman stated that they do not have a legal aid worker and when individuals have to appear in court, they only have a couple of minutes with whoever the legal counsel is to prepare their case before it goes into court. Mr. Speaker, I thought there was such a thing as due process in which an individual has the right to legal counsel long before he appears in court. There is strain and stress on the individuals. I would like to ask the Minister, with division coming and Holman Island being part of the Western Territory, what is being done to improve the legal aid services for Holman Island?
