Mr. Chairman, the Member is right in that this is responding to an inconsistency in our legislation and is something that we had to do as soon as we could in order to make existing practices legal. The question of revising or reviewing the whole Liquor Act is a much bigger one. I am certainly taking direction from the Legislative Assembly on our priorities for legislation.

Last December, I believe it was, we met in Hay River and we looked at all our legislation and prioritized them, and this one did not make it near the top of the list. If the Legislative Assembly changes its mind and insists that this one be bumped up to the top of the list, then we would bump something else back. My feeling is that this is a very complex piece of legislation. It is late in our government to really take on a full-fledged review of this act, but it is something that has to happen at some point in the near future. Thank you.
