Mr. Chairman, what I said is that aboriginal women have to go through double biases because of the fact that they are not only women but they are also aboriginal. I have used Kitty Nowdluk as an example. In the same light, several years ago there was a woman who was raped, who was in Ontario and was summoned to appear in court, and she came back here without any police escort. This was what I was referring to. The recommendations state that all elementary and high schools should incorporate sections of the administration of justice and the historical overview of the development of the present court structure. What I was referring to was that, in order for us to arrive at that present court system, we should also be allowed to learn of the systems prior to the present court system. I did not see this in the report and this was what I was trying to get at.
