Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My question is around the area of bankruptcy. The legislation that we have that was followed in the Northwest Territories when someone files bankruptcy is very outdated compared to other jurisdictions such as Alberta. What we're seeing is there seems to be a trend that a lot of these people that have these outstanding debts have gone to Alberta and declared bankruptcy because they can get a better deal by filing for bankruptcy in Alberta than they would in the Northwest Territories.

I've raised this question many times in the House, in the previous 13th Assembly and now here again. I've talked to federal people and people who've been involved in the bankruptcy legislation and helping people with bankruptcy. They have a real problem when they come to the Northwest Territories to understand what's offered through the bankruptcy exemptions. Yet right next door in Alberta it seems like it's a pretty straightforward, stream-lined process.

I'd like to ask the Minister, what is this government doing to hopefully not start to see a trend where everyone that has a debt with this government is now going to go to Alberta to declare bankruptcy because they can get more of that debt written off and be able to have more security by way of holding household items? Have you looked at this and are you talking to our federal counterparts about amending our bankruptcy legislation so we do bring it in line with other jurisdictions such as Alberta?
