Justice committee  My co-presenters have a particular perspective that they share with you, a perspective of a validity, from their perspective, which is fine—some of which I agree with and some of which I don't—but, interestingly, you hear unanimity on family violence screening tools and education

Justice committee  Perhaps I can say one thing about that. For sure, individualized justice is the way to go with parenting. There's no question about that. The research you want to look at is Joan Kelly's, Dr. Lamb's, Professor Austin's and Marsha Kline Pruett's. You want to look at all of that s

Justice committee  I can share with you that there's a meeting at the NJI, the National Judicial Institute, to create a mandatory family-justice education model for judges. Every superior court judge is going to have to go through it. That's starting next week, I think.

Justice committee  I tend to disagree with parts and agree vehemently with other parts of what my friend said. I don't think it will be a problem with any of the Hagues. We certainly canvassed that with the Department of Justice before we raised the very issue. We were assured that wasn't the case

Justice committee  Thank you for your question. I'll have to respond in English because my French isn't good enough. I apologize.

Justice committee  In terms of a screening tool, I agree entirely. Actually the federal government, the Department of Justice and the CBA are working on exactly that and will shortly come out with a tool that will be recommended across the board. I agree with my friends who talked about family vi

Justice committee  Okay, I'm sorry. I did that, too.

Justice committee  Thank you so much for your question. I'm happy to respond to that. In Manitoba, we formed a committee that I chaired, proposing changes to relocation. Bill 33 was the result. Unfortunately, it died on the order paper. Actually, I believe the sections are attached at schedule 1

Justice committee  Have I exhausted all of you?

Justice committee  I could keep going.

Justice committee  Okay. I'll be quick on relocation. The person who's relocating has thought about the relocation for ages. This says they have to give 60 days' notice and the responding party has 30 days. It's entirely unfair, because in rural Canada or northern Canada, they can't even get a law

Justice committee  Thank you for inviting me to speak to you this evening. I want to thank you, as well, for making me feel so comfortable by bringing January weather from my city of Winnipeg, here to Ottawa this evening. I should acknowledge, as well, the Algonquin nation whose traditional terri
