As I've tried to explain in my presentation, there are broader determinants to employment success. You can't just rely on education or skills development alone to have the impact for aboriginal women. It is housing—she doesn't have any property protection on-reserve, so she is frequently having to start at a lower spot—no child care, and there are lots of other things. We want to make sure that those broader determinants—and for sure matrimonial real property on-reserve is one of the large ones. This has been going on for well over 30 years. Women have had to flee with absolutely nothing but the clothes on their backs.
