Thank you.
Please forgive me, because I don't see the connection between reconciliation regarding residential schools and matrimonial property rights. I recognize that it was this government that issued the residential schools apology. That, to me, shows that.... I hear colonialism and paternalism. Frankly, I see a government that's actually trying very hard to consult on this issue and others, and to do the right thing, especially with regard to residential schools.
Maybe my question to you should be this. Do you want Bill S-2 to solve all of the problems? That's not how I see it. I see it as solving one problem. It's one piece of the puzzle. You're right. It doesn't address residential schools and it doesn't address housing, but it does address a big issue. We've heard from witnesses who've lived through the nightmare of being kicked out of their homes, and we're trying to help them.
So we can talk about a national plan of action and we can talk about colonialism. With regard to consultation, you can say there was none, but there was. It may not have been enough, but there was consultation. We still think we're doing the right thing. Do you not think there are women who will be helped by this?
