In these situations the question is that without access to legal aid, without supports and services, with a new law, how would she even deal with the band council or deal with decisions that are made?
Across the country we are hearing that women don't see that the law can do this. As my colleague said, when there is so little shelter space, so little programming for the prevention of family violence...I have trouble understanding how even when, at the Senate committee, you said there had to be provisions...and there aren't any in the bill.
