Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the legislation that I talk about in regard to the draft legislation does address the issue of the appeals process. We realize there are some concerns in that area and in order to make it work better, we have to make those changes. So we are addressing the area of the appeals because of concerns, but we're also trying to have a transparent system through the new legislation to ensure that when people come forward and they have an appeal, that the appeal is being heard and that we've responded to it without having legislation that is overlapping between the authority of the government's counsel or the Appeals Tribunal. So we're ensuring that those two functions operate in a clearer manner than they are right now because if the legislation has originated from this, it does have some overlap and we are trying to resolve that through the proposal that is coming forward; to look at the new legislation under phase two to ensure that we have a system that works. With regard to the Appeals Tribunal and the roles that they have in regard to the governance council, the Appeals Tribunal should ensure that they don't have these overlapping authorities where they are bumping into each other. I think that is the area that I and my counterpart in Nunavut are looking at to ensure that we make these changes so that we avoid these kinds of inconveniences to the people that are going through the appeals process.
So this is an opportunity for us to look at that and, with regard to the Members on the other side, once we have more meat on the bone with regard to figuring out what's in that legislation and we have something that is solid, I will bring it forward to the Members so they can have a chance to look at that.
