Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I know that we're the creatures of the Northwest Territories Act; we're heavily influenced by decisions of federal judges both at the Supreme Court level and the appeal level. I would just like to ask the Minister, I mean, clearly there's a difference of opinion where those on the right say this is a good idea, there is a change and there is going to be an ability to put all sorts of party faithful, good Conservatives on the new committees. I want to ask the Minister, are there not issues of great concern to us in the federal courts that would advise us to have an interest in how judges are appointed so that we can ensure that there is an impartial system and one that's not going to be so politically driven? Thank you.
