Thank you.
So it's a real issue. I think in some cases, when we think of domestic violence, the people who abuse do it because they can get away with it. If someone thinks for a moment that they're going to lose total access to their matrimonial property, or the home they live in or share with their wife or their spouse, and they think there's an opportunity that they might actually lose that possession, do you think that would curb someone so that they would actually take a second look and stop the abuse, or treat the other person in a more respectable way?
Generations and generations back, women fought to have the right to vote. When I think back—before my time, obviously—women were not always treated equally in the family home either. But times have changed.
I have to tell you, though, that not too long ago I spoke to my husband about this very issue, about the need for Bill S-2. He could not believe that in this day and age, here in Canada, a country like Canada, there are women living here—in Canada—who do not have equal rights to matrimonial property and are forced out of their home. He could not believe it.
I guess I'm asking you that question, because although Bill S-2 may not solve all the problems on reserves, certainly it will help some. Do you agree?
