Yes, Mr. Speaker, I will commit to doing that. I would expect the federal government to take the lead and, in fact, consult in all jurisdictions, involve us in that consultation. But failing what we see as adequate federal consultation, obviously we would step into the breach. But I think there is a role for both parties. We certainly will be involved in this at any rate. Obviously we have an interest in ensuring that this meets our needs in the Northwest Territories. So yes, if there's going to be the development of legislation, we will consult our stakeholders and ensure the federal government has and understands the views of northerners on this issue. Thank you.
