The Member is correct; there are five other jurisdictions that have incorporated legislation in this area. I, however, am not convinced that there’s need for this type of legislation in the NWT. Creating legislation for legislation’s sake is not something that I plan to do. It’s expensive, it takes resources and, of course, that all adds up to a lot of dollars out of the department. So I can certainly commit that we’ll talk to the city and see if they share the Member’s feelings on the need for legislation. Thank you.
