Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The definition of "residence" is a difficult one. It isn't spelled out in the Territorial Court Act. I am sure that the judge has a residence in Hay River. One of the issues that has become more obvious than we had understood at the time is that there are probably, on average, three or four days of court time per month required in Hay River, some months more, depending on the workload, some months less. So this judge will have to travel on circuit and have to fill in the north part of the territory and Yellowknife, as well. So as the Member has indicated, the presence of the judge in the community will depend on workload. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
