Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, when we broke on Friday, there was some discussion over concerns raised by NTI and the Nunavut Social Development Council. Today, I see there is a new fax that has been sent by Roy Erasmus, as chair in the office of the Standing Committee on Social Programs. Indeed, Roy is not the chair. It is our friend, Mr. Tommy Enuaraq. Aside from that, they still have some concerns with the proposed Adoption Act. The level of comfort that we expected from the Minister and his staff in a letter written to Mr. Anawak as the Interim Commissioner and to the Nunavut Social Development Council. I am wondering if the Minister could update this House at this time on what type of consideration they have given to the discussions that took place last week in regard to the proposed Adoption Act and, hopefully, resting the concerns of NTI and the Nunavut Social Development Council, and now, it would seem the office of the Interim Commissioner with the proposed Adoption Act? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
