Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I listened to the Member for Range Lake's statement with interest and her questions to the Minister of Justice, as well as the debate in the House yesterday. I just have a question to follow up as well with the Minister of Justice on the issue of the shared parenting legislation. Mr. Speaker, I think there is general agreement that the best interests of the child are fundamental in this whole debate, that mothers tend to be the primary caregivers, that there is domestic violence and violence against women at three times the national average here in the Northwest Territories and that our shelters are filled with women and children that had violence perpetrated against them by men. I just wanted to ask the Minister, as he is going about this work and contemplating and clarifying his thinking in the position of the government, will he keep those key factors in mind? Thank you.
