Mr. Speaker, when the parliamentary secretary talks about the amount of consultation that happened across this country, I would refer to the ministerial report by Wendy Grant-John that was done for the former minister of aboriginal affairs, Jim Prentice, back in 2006.
As the ministerial representative, Wendy Grant-John talked extensively to first nations from coast to coast to coast and found that there was no consensus regarding the legislation that could be applied to matrimonial real property. She did make a number of recommendations. We closely examined the legislation that was before the House. When we compared the old legislation to the new legislation, we found that the bulk of Ms. Grant-John's recommendations had not been included in the new legislation.
When the government talks about consultation, it forgets that a vital piece of that is to not only go out and do a consultation but to actually incorporate those recommendations into the legislation that is before the House.
I would like the parliamentary secretary to address specifically how Ms. Grant-John's recommendations were incorporated into this legislation before us.
