Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 24)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I'm all for efficiencies. Does the department then have any specific plans on how it is going to monitor access to justice? What specific indicators?

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the commitment of the Minister to appear before Standing Committee with this plan. Would that plan also include what is going to happen to the books and the resources that are actually in the court library? The reason why I mention this is that it's my understanding that there are some volumes and some information, some documents, books in there that are the only known copy on this planet, and they are of a great historical value for people that would want to do research on the history of the Northwest Territories, our legislation and so on.
