Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I agree; obviously the responsibility is on the federal government to adequately consult as they develop legislation. But I certainly won't duck the issue or the obligation to ensure all NWT interests are heard and we have a balanced perspective that's brought forward. So yes, as the federal government goes forward, when and if they propose to develop legislation of this kind, I would ensure that all stakeholders have a chance to voice their opinions and express their thoughts on how we might improve this area of family law. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
