Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Langtry, for being here today. The purpose of Bill S-2 is to address the inequity in matrimonial real property protections and rights on reserves, especially regarding the matrimonial home and protections for primary caregivers, the majority of whom are women. It also seeks to protect individuals in situations of family violence, separation, divorce, or death.
Do you believe that aboriginal men and women on reserves should have the same access to matrimonial property protections as other Canadians do?
