Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Before I answer the question, I just want to point out a couple of things. What this is doing is, in a sense, protecting government employees in the sense that they have a right already through the Human Rights Act. So it's protecting them on that front. There is no differentiation between frontline workers and headquarter workers. If they are government employees, they are all protected.

The band employees, as I mentioned, are already protected under the Canadian Human Rights Act and we can't impose our legislation on them. The health and social service board employees are covered now, with the exception of Hay River, but the ones in Lutselk'e are covered by this. They are considered to be public servants now. So it does have a much wider application than what some Members may think it has. It covers anyone who is defined as being a public servant under the provisions of this act and that includes a lot of people in small communities, as well as in larger communities.

Will we get an exemption to section 66, yes. Last week I spoke to Minister Cauchon and he has assured us that the Department of Justice is happy with the legislation and they are prepared to issue us a section 66 exemption. No questions on that one. Thank you.
