Certainly. I thank the Members for their comments. We share many of the concerns that have been expressed. Naturally, because of some of the logistics of things, often pilot projects do start off in Yellowknife; however, if they are successful here, they can be expanded. For example, DVTO court has been expanded to Hay River, and hopefully, depending on resources, some of the excellent programs that we do have in the capital, assuming that they are living up to expectations can be expanded to some of the smaller jurisdictions; however, staffing and resources always tends to be an issue.

With respect to Mr. Blake's concerns about sentencing, that is really a matter for the federal government who decides what the provisions are of the Criminal Code. I do know that the judiciary do take these matters very, very seriously, as is evident in some of the press reports of late; however, I do not think the judiciary would appreciate commentary by me as to the appropriate length of sentences.

I thank you all. I look forward to your questions and comments. Thank you.
