I spoke to it at length before, Madam Chair. I'm repeating myself. I believe the issue of matrimonial real property is an important issue.
I agree with Ms. Hoeppner that a consultation did take place under the leadership of Wendy Grant-John. At that time, Ms. Grant-John felt that it could have been a more extensive consultation. While they met with some members of the community, they might have met with others. But I guess the most important aspect of it is that what Ms. Hoeppner is recommending in her motion is the antithesis of what Ms. Grant-John recommended in her very substantial, very thoughtful report as it relates to matrimonial real property for first nations women on reserve.
I believe it's time to move forward with this issue, but I believe it's time to move forward with this issue and do it right. To do it right is not to impose what we think is best for aboriginal women, but what they think is best. Quite clearly, we've heard that what the government is proposing is not what they think is best.
I'll leave it at that.
