Result: Negatived

That the motion be amended by deleting all the words after the word “That” and substituting the following: “the House decline to give third reading to Bill S-2, An Act respecting family homes situated on First Nation reserves and matrimonial interests or rights in or to structures and lands situated on those reserves, because it: ( a) is primarily a Bill about the division of property on reserve but the Standing Committee on the Status of Women did not focus on this primary purpose during its deliberations; ( b) fails to implement the ministerial representative recommendation for a collaborative approach to development and implementing legislation; ( c) does not recognize First Nations jurisdiction or provide the resources necessary to implement this law; ( d) fails to provide alternative dispute resolution mechanisms at the community level; ( e) does not provide access to justice, especially in remote communities; ( f) does not deal with the need for non-legislative measures to reduce violence against Aboriginal women; ( g) makes provincial court judges responsible for adjudicating land codes for which they have had no training or experience in dealing with; and ( h) does not address underlying issues, such as access to housing and economic security that underlie the problems on-reserve in dividing matrimonial property.”.
