Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have met with the chair of the Legal Services Board a number of times since becoming Minister responsible for Justice. With the concerns that were raised here in the House in the previous Assembly, as well as in my travel to the communities, obviously there is concern there that I would like to address. We have been trying to deal with it. We are entertaining putting our own staffed lawyers in certain parts of the Territories to try to alleviate this problem. There is work being done with the Legal Services Board to try to address that problem at the present time. Thank you.
