Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Justice. Mr. Speaker, the report on the special advisor on gender equality was tabled on June 29, 1992 and titled "The Justice House". In the report, Ms. Katherine Peterson, Queen's Counsel, recommended that training in gender issues should be made available for members of the judiciary, Crown attorneys, Crown administrators, and other people who work in the justice system.

Earlier today, I referred to the fact that the current Director General of the Federal Council for Aboriginal Justice Administration is the same individual who was responsible for the arrest, detention and humiliation of Kitty Nowdluk Reynolds. Recognizing the importance of Ms. Peterson's recommendations, and the Director General's prior history of insensitivity to gender issues in the Kitty Nowdluk case, will the Minister of Justice communicate immediately with his federal counterparts and insist that his official participate in the mandatory gender awareness training program?
