During question period on Monday the Premier stated his opposition to the law and this government's position that no money or any other resources would be spent to assist the federal government in getting people to comply with the legislation.
Mr. Speaker, whether we like it or not, this gun control legislation has become law. As the Government of the Northwest Territories we have a responsibility to the people of the North to provide services where no other services are available. Many gun owners are trappers and aboriginals that depend on firearms for their livelihood. If we do not help them to register their guns, they will be breaking the law and could have their guns seized. I will have questions on this issue later, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
