Thank you very much, Madam Chair. We did undertake consultation with the Law Society. There was consultation on several occasions in different contexts with the Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories. As well, the public guardian was consulted both with respect to the original proposal for the bill and with respect to the bill itself. We did not go out to the seniors’ societies. It had not been contemplated at the time.

One thing I would note is that there’s nothing in this bill that does not bring the Northwest Territories either up to standards of elsewhere in Canada or that could otherwise have an adverse effect in any way on seniors. So that was part of the reason we kept the consultation to the entities that we did. Thank you.
