I would answer by saying that the idea for the centre of excellence is to house it within an existing aboriginal institutional organization that already has experience dealing with more urban communities, more prosperous communities, and remote and isolated and very challenged communities. They have the skill to be able to consider very much what is the right service, what is the right type of matrimonial property law in a remote community, and what kind of provisions you should provide for. Yes, the centre of excellence should be able to provide advice, for example, on how to handle emergency protection orders where there is not a local RCMP detachment and so on.
I would come back to an earlier answer that in the implementation plan going forward our department is connected to Public Safety and to the RCMP, so how we can try to make sure the legislation is more than just paper but is actually implemented in a way that responds is on the radar screen.
I'm not going to deny the point that the committee member made. Some communities are isolated and have many challenges in terms of policing issues, far beyond just matrimonial real property.
