When I stated that the bill was resolving all known sex-based discrimination, it was in relation to what the court has ruled to be discriminatory, so the issue of cousins and siblings. As you know, we have also added the issue of omitted minors or removed minors. What we have found through the testimony of the Indigenous Bar Association was that there was another situation, which was actually the result of the remedy that we're bringing, vis-à-vis the sibling issue. This then creates a new comparative group and depending on certain circumstances, and it's quite complex, this could also appear to create another inequity, which we've looked at and we are prepared to address if amendments are tabled.
