Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would like to direct my question to the Minister of Justice. As most Members are aware, we just passed a Custom Adoption Recognition Act that puts the aboriginal customs into white laws. Is the Minister's department looking at ways of accommodating aboriginal standards? In other words, I have made reference to the aboriginal corrections facility, but we are still governed by building codes, fire codes, safety codes, health codes, electrical codes and so on. I would like to know if in the future, we will be able to make facilities without the application of all these codes, in order to accommodate aboriginal facilities?
