Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as Members are aware, the federal legislation passed some years ago. It is federal legislation. It is the responsibility of the federal government to make information available and provide assistance, so that all people across Canada are aware of the law, the requirements to be in compliance with the legislation and assistance that may be required. There were special provisions, I think, that were provided for aboriginal people. Some years ago, the Government of the Northwest Territories had offered to work with the federal officials to make sure that our people were not unduly burdened with this draconian piece of legislation. The specific assistance that we provide at this time, I am not aware of. I will be passing this on to the Minister of Justice so that we can get proper briefing from the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs. Thank you.
