Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On behalf of some constituents and concerns that were brought before me where the courts do have to get involved and that is a reality that we have to face, that the courts are not subjected to the kinds of bias that has surfaced in so many areas. Mr. Speaker, divorce law, of course, is the jurisdiction of the federal government and, when couples and relationships break down and they go to court, there is so often a win-lose scenario. We have talked about mediation and helping to avoid that. I wanted to ask the Minister where the law itself is federal but we have a social support services network here. What can we do to influence the outcomes so that they are not so confrontational, not so win-lose, Mr. Speaker?
