Mr. Chairman, section 66 is a section in the Canadian Human Rights Act that makes specific provisions for the exclusion of the Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavut should they develop the same legislation within their own jurisdiction. The Yukon had their own Yukon Human Rights Act a number of years ago, and they have applied for and received an exemption from the Canadian Human Rights Act through section 66. We're going through that process, now that we have our own Human Rights Act. Some day Nunavut might. So that section is very explicit, very clear, very limited to the territories opting out of the Canadian Human Rights Act. Thank you.
