But this kind of goes to our first recommendation. I would caution the committee about taking a piecemeal approach to this area of reform. There are many things that need to be thought out, intricacies about how the provincial wills regimes would work vis-à-vis Indian estates. Those need to be thought out carefully. It may not be as simple as just adding that section 2 of the Indian Act, regarding common-law partner, continues to apply. That may not get us all the way there.
