Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I was actually recently invited to a meeting of the NWT Network to Prevent Abuse of Older Adults held here in Yellowknife on February 10, 2015, where the NWT Seniors’ Society was providing that workshop. At that time I was again asked about possible legislation, and I have already directed the department to do some research into the duty to report but also other opportunities that may exist that will make it necessary for individuals to report abuse.

I will say that, I mean, all of us as citizens have an obligation, in my mind, to report violence when we see it, whether it’s family violence or whether it’s abuse against adults. So if you do see abuse of our seniors or elders, please report it to the RCMP so that they can get involved and help protect our citizens and our senior citizens all throughout the Northwest Territories.
