I want to thank you very much for your insightful presentation. It's gratifying to see what your organization is doing and how attentive you are to the needs of women, both in gender-based analysis and particularly regarding the aboriginal aspect. So many of our aboriginal people in Canada are facing challenges on the reserve.
I was very interested in what you had to say about the marriage rights. In our committee, we had a very clear discussion, and members on all sides of the House agreed that this is an issue we really have to address. The Senate came up with a report, which I'd be very happy to share with everyone around the table. Also, there's another report by the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. There's been a lot of study.
Could you please give an outline pertaining to women, specifically for us—I know there are some new commitee members—particularly about the challenges that women and children are facing on the reserves right now, in 2006, and about why the work you're doing is so important, so the quality of their lives can be improved?
