Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I assume that the legislation division, the increase is due to collective bargaining, but I will also just take the opportunity to ask the Minister if he's been able to find some extra bilingual drafters. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Minister of Justice.

Thank you. As of today, I couldn't tell you whether it's fully staffed or not. Throughout the year, the answer could be different that we're down one drafter or we're fully staffed. I'm not sure where we are today; I apologize to the Member. But we can try and find that out before we're done here today if all goes well. Thank you.

Member for Great Slave.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, no, this is another one of those perennial questions that I like just because I recognize that this is, you know, a pinch point for all of us here in these jobs, being legislators, wanting to see legislation expediently. The Minister spoke to that himself earlier today in an answer to the question around the SCAN legislation. So I would just always encourage the Minister to, you know, use whatever means necessary to find more bilingual drafters. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Minister of Justice.

Thank you. It's a pinch point all right, and we're doing our best. Thank you.
