Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just referring to the area of non-resident judges, now we are suggesting that...or now it's been pointed out in the Minister's comments that they have to relocate to the NWT, which is not an issue. Do we have any type of time or something that specifies reasonability on this? For example, if we appoint an Alberta judge who is qualified to become a territorial judge, do we not say you have to become a resident of the Northwest Territories within six months of your appointment? We specify certain things. In one of the clauses, a chief judge can lose maybe their appointment as chief judge if they have been ill or absent for more than 40 days. So why wouldn't we put anything specific if we don't have anything specific? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
