Mr. Speaker, that is certainly a valid suggestion. I know that this government has been doing some work with the federal government behind the scenes to look at ways that they could seek to change the system. I believe the government before this one also had an interest in advancing some of those principles and making some reforms. Mr. Speaker, I think the best approach, though, is to gauge the level of interest from our provincial colleagues and talk about how we might move forward with this. A comprehensive law review obviously takes a lot of time. It is federal jurisdiction. So I think, in the meantime, we need to do some things to make sure that we have mediation options available for couples and parents going through these issues. Law review may be where we need to go. I think it is best to gauge the interest of the other jurisdictions in that. We certainly can't drive it alone. Thank you.
