The five years that we've spent working on Sisters in Spirit has not only been a journey to collect data but also to legitimize our research. Going hand in hand with Stats Canada to confirm our methodology and our research procedures has helped to justify our own feelings that we knew we had to begin with that this work is important, that it's filling a gap in the system, that this type of information hasn't been collected in this way or hasn't been used well. We're now at the cusp where people are actually starting to come to us and want to work with us. So we are starting memorandums of understanding for information sharing with the OPP, with the Manitoba Action Group on Exploited and Vulnerable Women, and with the national RCMP database as well.
In terms of the issues we have around the privacy about the databases, because we had consent forms from families, we'll have to go back to the families and make sure they're okay with sharing that type of information. What we do instead is every year we come out with our research report, telling of the newest trends that we have seen and the confirmation of what we can do with that data without releasing private information.
