Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question today is for the Premier. I indicated in my Member's statement that the deadline to register guns is January 1, 2003, a date that is quickly approaching. In the Northwest Territories, we have many hunters and trappers who depend on guns. Also, at the same time, we have in our communities very little access to phones, and there are not too many trappers who have access to the Internet.

I would like to ask the Premier if he can tell me, prior to January 1, 2003, what action and support is this government willing to provide to those aboriginal people and all the residents of the Northwest Territories to ensure that their guns are registered? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
