I move that clause 3(4)(b) of Bill 2 be amended by striking out "adoption took place" and by substituting "child was adopted in accordance with aboriginal customary law."

Clause 4 and 5, isn't that the way it is done now? Custom adoption? The process, itself, is in writing here, right? That's the way it is happening now, even without this legislation, right?

With regard to this, Mr. Chairman, I wanted to ask the Minister how they are going to determine who is knowledgeable in this area and still be able to carry on the proceedings? In most cases, both with the Dene and the Inuit, the people who are most knowledgeable in this area don't know how to read or write.

Mr. Chairman, the intent is to look to the community to have them identify who they feel is knowledgeable and understanding of aboriginal customary law. It is not a requirement that they be bilingual. Thank you.
