Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We do have a great nominee program here in the Northwest Territories. The waiting time is probably one of the best in all of Canada. However, with the family reunification that the Member is speaking about, that is solely the full responsibility of the federal government's Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. They have made some changes. However, the changes that they have made are outside of the NWT, our territorial nominee program, as well as our current agreement with Canada.

However, seeing as that is an important issue and we do want to reunite families together, I will commit to raising this issue and this concern with the federal Minister and/or federal officials to see how we can have that type of program here, in the Northwest Territories, or work to get this reunification of families. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
