Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank you all for being here and making your presentations. I also want to reiterate what my colleague had just said. Bill S-2, we all know, and I acknowledge thoroughly, that it's not intended to address the broad issues of poverty or housing shortages on reserve. This bill was developed in response to men and women asking the government to do this. This is not just something we dreamed up. We were asked to do this, and that is why we are progressing with that. We've had witnesses who have been here already and who have spoken with passion on this issue. That is why we are going in this direction.
I also note that in 2007, the NAN held one consultation session, which included three focus groups over three days with approximately 30 participants. All these legislative options were put forward for consideration in the discussion paper. Since 2007, what progress has NAN made in developing family law templates for all the NAN communities? You said there were 49. I'm wondering what progress you have made in developing family law for all of these communities and matrimonial real property practices that incorporate restorative justice and the circle approach.
I will ask Chief Maracle.
