Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question today is to the Minister of Justice, Mr. Arlooktoo. Mr. Speaker, there have been rumblings and hearings, at the national level, about changes being sought to the Young Offenders Act and the need to tighten the current legislation regarding these individuals. Mr. Speaker, we have had also a great deal of feedback from constituents who are fed up with what they perceive as a lack of substance to the laws governing young offenders. I know, in my constituency, it is not unique. I have also heard Mr. Krutko talk about concerns he has had on the same topic in this House. I would like to ask the Minister of Justice, what is the GNWT's current position in supporting changes to the Young Offenders Act? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
