Mr. Speaker, matrimonial real property has been a long-standing human rights issue that our Conservative government is committed to solving.
This morning, the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development has joined with the Assembly of First Nations and the Native Women's Association of Canada to launch a series of consultations with the aim of resolving this important issue. These consultations will be completed by January and the minister is confident that he will introduce legislation regarding this issue in the spring of 2007.
We are contributing $9 million toward achieving a solution to this problem. Our party is getting things done for women, children and families.
