Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that it is legal to possess child pornography as long as it is not mass-distributed. In addition, there is a court case pending about whether pornography should be judged on its artistic merit, and therefore, the person possessing it would be resolved from prosecution. This is deeply disturbing to a number of people, myself included. Would the Minister please state whether our justice system in the Northwest Territories is bound by these positions? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
