The centre of excellence is planned—because of course it is pending appropriate funding approvals—to support first nations through providing information, tools and communications, and best practices related to the development of matrimonial real property laws. As well, should they choose not to develop their own first nation law, it is to help bring better understanding of the provisions that are in Bill S-2.
The centre of excellence is planned to be established within an existing organization that is at arm's length from the government and the first nations that it intends to serve.
