Thank you very much, Madam Chair, for this opportunity.
I'd just like to bring something up with Ms. Halperin-Kaddari. I was on the aboriginal affairs and northern development committee for quite some time, and we dealt with families and matrimonial property and so on. In the list, I believe you had indicated you felt there was a disconnect because at one time this would be taken over by the bands themselves, but of course that was the rationale and that was what was being asked.
That was the thing that was being asked by the bands at that time, so I'm curious as to why you feel that is a negative, or did I misinterpret what you said when you spoke about the act and the difficulties that would obtain once the bands had taken over?
