Thank you, Madame Chair.
Welcome and thank you everyone for sharing your testimony with us.
This study is on best practices and promising practices, things that your organization may have done that might help someone else, projects that you've done. I heard a lot of initiatives that you would like to see, but they weren't necessarily best practices or promising practices of things you've done. These are great organizations, so hopefully I can get something great that you've done in your organization, so we can use it as a model, perhaps, for other organizations.
I wanted to clarify something else.
Sharlene, I think you had mentioned the funding for Status of Women.
I wanted to clarify that the reduction was due to administrative savings and that it wasn't project funding. In 2007, 10 million new dollars were put in there. It was announced to give more money to the programs, and that brought the program funding to $19 million. I just wanted to clarify that. Also, $146 million in funding has been approved to end violence against women and girls since 2007.
I have a couple of questions about best practices.
Lise Martin, maybe I can start with you if that's okay. You were talking about Walking the Path Together, taking action in relation to safety. Do you have a best practice that came out of that initiative?
