Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just have a small question. In his opening statement, the Minister indicated that the PPSA will be implemented this year. I think that is what I read I do not have it on me. Can I get just a quick update on where the department is on that project? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. May I get clarification on what this year means? How close are we? Because the fiscal year has already come and six months have passed.

Thank you. I am told that it will take about three months after finalizing the contract and we are still trying to finalize the contract with the supplier. It will probably take about six months. Thank you.

I think the operators have waited for ten years, and I guess six more months will not be so bad. Thank you. I encourage the department to finish that off by the end of this fiscal year. I think it will help everyone involved. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am not particularly well versed in it, but I was prompted to see if I could ask a question that relates to the Minister's opening remarks, in which he said that under legal registries and electronic system, the Personal Property Security Act is going to be created.

A concern seems to be on information that is filed under land titles and information that is filed under leases. Is there some difference or some potential conflict here between information that comes under this department's jurisdictions and under the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs, where people have interests or perhaps mortgages or activity drawing on different classifications of land? Is the department looking at consolidating this kind of information for the ease of people or agencies that have interest in land development? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Before I ask the Minister to answer, I would like to recognize Dr. Gary Morris in the visitor's gallery. He is in Yellowknife for an anesthesia locum from Saskatoon.

The registry in question is not a registry for land interests. This is a registry for the registration of interests in personal property, not in land. On the question of the consolidation of registration of land interests, there have been discussions recently with the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs, but this is at the formative stage. However, it does relate to the interest or the concern you expressed.
