Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to follow up on the line of questioning from the Member of Hay River South. I am familiar with the circumstance the Member is referring to and I am of the opinion that there is significant latitude in the existing policies and I want to keep in mind the comments made by the Premier in his Member's statement about one of the benefits and joys of our job being able to help people. My question to the Minister is, is this a situation that involves other departments? Would he commit to sit down with the Minister of Justice and the Member for Hay River South to see what is possible within the existing structures? These folks don't have time for protective policy debate that is going to drag on for the last Assembly and is going to satisfy the immediate pressures. Would the government sit down and see what is possible? Would they do that and possibly provide some relief to a very pressing issue? Would the Minister commit to do that? Thank you.

The Speaker Paul Delorey

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. The honourable Minister of Human Resources, Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as the Minister is aware, the time is short and people are off and about. I would ask if the Minister could commit to connect with the Member for Hay River South and possibly the Minister of Justice even before we depart because once the morrow comes, everybody will be going to the four points of the compass. I know this has urgency and needs to be addressed before we all depart, even before supper. I don't think it's going to be a discussion that's going to take a long time. Thank you.
