Mr. Chairman, the Personal Information and Protection of Electronic Documents Act, or as it's known as PIPEDA, comes into effect on January 1, 2004, and it will affect private business in the Northwest Territories as well as across Canada. There's a mandatory review of PIPEDA that's scheduled for 2006, and at that point we would be part of the review. After the review there would be an opportunity to determine whether specific legislation for the Northwest Territories would be a good idea. I think there's a lot that would be required to put this legislation into place in the Northwest Territories and a lot to support the legislation.
