Thank you, Madam Chair.
At a very practical level, in the non-native realm and through provincial law, when there's a marriage breakdown, the real property is often sold and the value of what is deemed to be the real property or other family assets is divided so that the couple can take the value of those assets and move on with their lives.
In a case in which there needs to be respect for things like land tenure within and on reserve, ultimately when there's a marriage breakdown and the woman may wish to go on and make a different life for herself--or the man, for that matter--there needs to be some reconciliation of the value of the property. Through this process, has there been any discussion thus far about the monetary remedy? If a monetary-type remedy comes to the table in a case like this, how would that typically be funded, in a case in which real property can't in fact be sold?
