Mr. Speaker, the department is speaking with the Audit Bureau this week and we hope that they can do it quickly. We would like to use them if possible as the third party. If they cannot do it then we will start to look outside of government to have someone else do it.

Mr. Speaker, we will do it as quickly as we can. I will try to have it done within the next two weeks. I cannot give any assurance right now because we have not confirmed anything with the people doing the review, but as fast as we can I will keep the Member and other interested parties informed as it moves along. Thank you.

Charles Dent Frame Lake
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, following up on my Member's statement earlier today, my question is for the Minister of Justice. Mr. Speaker, a full range of stakeholder groups, including the Northwest Territories Seniors Society have called on this government to bring in family violence prevention legislation.
I have been questioning the Member for a long time now to move on this. When will the Minister finally complete this review and tell this House when he is going to bring forward family violence prevention legislation?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I hope to have the report completed by late this fall and hopefully I will be returning to Cabinet for a decision. I do not know if that will be done in the very near future. Thank you.
