Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the Member knows, the issue was brought before the Alberta Court of Appeal and it was concluded there and is now in the process of being referenced to the Supreme Court. In the meantime, the National Firearms Act will come into effect on December 1. The Member is quite correct that the people of the Northwest Territories, including the people from his region, need to be aware of what is in the act and what they need do to comply with the act. As I had said before in this House, the administration of the act is a responsibility of the federal government and they are making their arrangements without our support or inclusion. I will pass on the message that the Member wants me to pass on to the federal government. Thank you.
