Mr. Chairman, what I can tell the Member is, that is not laid out in that manner in the act. It does indicate that where there's an appointment that specifies the location in which a territorial judge must reside, then they must do that. If no location is specified, then there isn't that requirement, Mr. Chairman. So we would have to change the act. I am not proposing that we want to do that at this time. I think we can arrive at the same ends by having the condition placed on terms of employment and Cabinet can do that. There is probably nothing to stop the Member from taking this up with his committee and if they want to champion an amendment to this act, then we would consider it at that point. Thank you.
