In answer to the question, I'd like to read something that was sent to the minister by my good friend, the Hon. Eric Robinson, the Minister of Aboriginal and Northern Affairs in Manitoba. It reads as follows:
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba urge the federal government to pass Bill S-2: Family Homes on Reserves and Matrimonial Interests or Rights Act.
[...]
THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent by the Speaker to the federal Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development.
There was no qualification in the call by the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba to pass Bill S-2.
