Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the issue of justice in the NWT is always one that receives a lot of attention. I must say that over the last number of years, my involvement in the Social Programs committee in the previous Assembly has seen a fair bit of changes come forward by the department. One of the other areas that I have raised, and remains a concern to me, is the area of maintenance enforcement. It is bad enough that we have families that cannot stay together for whatever reason and go through the process of separation and divorce and so on. That leaves the children and the family members in a very difficult position, especially when it comes to financing and managing to maintain households and levels of service when it comes to the family. I raised this issue with the Minister and he made me aware that the department is going to be working on it.

I would like to know if he has had any opportunity within the department to look at what could be done in the area of maintenance enforcement. I know there have been some cases that go back a number of years, ones I have dealt with trying to help out my constituents, unfortunately, and I understand the Minister's position when he responds that his department is backlogged and there is just a heavy workload. I would like to know if the department is looking at doing any changes and trying to deal with the situations and shorten the cases and try to help the families out in collecting what has been ordered by a court. Thank you.
