Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, just under this, I support the intention of this bill and to proceed with this when it comes to having parents and children having the support orders supported in other jurisdictions. One area I would just have concern with is to ensure that, when residents of our territory, I guess an application being applied for in another jurisdiction that residents of our territory are given due notice to respond to that. My understanding is that this bill accepts the fact that an application can be made through a court and that application will be heard in the jurisdiction that it is made. I just want to be sure from the Minister that in fact, if an application made in Ontario or B.C. or wherever, an application made against a parent who is residing in the Northwest Territories, that that parent will have due notice that they may respond to that without being caught short and having to travel to another jurisdiction sort of thing and being unprepared. Thank you.
