Thanks, Mr. Chair. I was very glad to see that the Minister, in his opening remarks, referred to the extensive discussions that have taken place between the City of Yellowknife and the Department of Justice over this bill. This is something that was talked about when I was on city council between 1997 and 2006. This has taken over 12 years to finally end up here in the Legislative Assembly. I don't understand why there is such a backlog of these sorts of things to help our local governments. I am glad that it is here, but we have to start to address the other backlogs that are still there. I do support this bill. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
