Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the department has been working on the implementation plans for this legislation with an advisory committee that has been made up of the RCMP, the YWCA, Health and Social Services, the Native Women's Association, and so on. So the implementation plan has been developed in concert with all of these agencies. The costs are to implement this new legislation; it is not a question of updating legislation, this is legislation that this Assembly has passed. It has not been proclaimed because we haven't got the training done yet to have people in the field to implement it. So what we are doing is ensuring that we have training for the RCMP, for Justices of the Peace, for shelter workers, and others in the communities who will have to be conversant with the legislation before we can actually see it becoming effective in the Northwest Territories.
