This legislation also provides for an emergency protection order so that you will be protected. In addition to that, this legislation provides for a centre of excellence to be created, so that centre will be available and will have resources for all the different bands across Canada, to help them develop their own legislation on reserve. So your band could develop its own legislation to resolve the situation, or put in place some specific family act within your reserve to address the situation you're in.
