Matrimonial Real Property (MRP) On Reserve The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (CAP) has been invited by the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, the Honourable Jim Prentice, to participate in a national dialogue to resolve the Indian Act’s failure to deal with disputes over Matrimonial Real Property on reserve lands (MRP). The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (CAP) has prepared a Matrimonial Real Property on reserve Discussion Guide, along with a Survey and Glossary to assist you in participating in this important dialogue. These documents are available in PDF Format which you will find on the bottom of this page. The Survey can be downloaded and printed, fill it in and fax it to: MRP Coordinator at 613-747-8834. Additionally, CAP has prepared an Online MRP Survey, which can be found here.
