Mr. Speaker, with the establishment of a justice system by the Canadian and territorial governments, the aboriginal people in particular have faced the imposition of a system which is largely not of their making, a system they do not readily identify with but nevertheless is backed by the full force of the law. Historically, it has not been seen as important whether aboriginal people could read or write or could understand a summons. However, with the development of a sense amongst communities and aboriginal people that the system needs to be changed in some major ways, I think the Member will find this government makes every possible effort to make sure all aboriginal people understand the proceedings of the present system of courts and legal communiques. I think, increasingly, the federal government will also be moving in that line. I think we will find that as we encourage more and more aboriginal communities and other communities to take a larger responsibility for the
way in which they relate and demand that relations be set up with the present system, that increasingly the system will be changed positively to meet many of the demands and shortcomings which the people of the north are starting to articulate. The Member's suggestion is a good one and we will see what we can do to ensure that happens, at least in our system, and to address the question to the federal justice people to ensure we can make every effort to meet that demand as well. We will be informing all Members about what can be done in this area. Thank you.
