Thank you. As a government, we are going to be reviewing this. We understand that while this is a federal legislation, some of the other jurisdictions we have checked with are not going to be administering this legislation.
I think we are going to leave it up to the federal government at this point in time. I understand that it is turning out to be a very costly venture. It is a law now, so our people in the North have to comply by it. There are some really tight timeframes we are looking at. From the information that I have, the chief firearms officer from the Northwest Territories is in the process of hiring some people who will travel throughout the Northwest Territories over the next few months to help people understand the law and to fill out the forms correctly. These registrations are needed to be done on a timely basis. We would like to encourage that.
In discussion with the national chief of the Dene Nation, maybe one way of doing it is if different chiefs and band councils, different Metis locals get involved at this level. So that the people who do not understand English, who do not know how to read or write, who use rifles as a tool to put food on the table, will be taken care of as soon as possible through the local organizations. Thank you.
