Status of Women committee  By all means. We can certainly follow up. I know it is readily available. There are community profiles that also look at Inuit average incomes. The general population average income can be skewed by high-income transient workers. In Iqaluit, the economy is largely driven by government.

Status of Women committee  We're talking about, I would suggest, two very different worlds. Prior to living in settlements, people were nomadic and living in much smaller groups with much greater interdependence, and it has been said with greater equality between the sexes out of necessity. There were occurrences of violence, but they were handled.

Status of Women committee  I'll speak about Baker Lake as an example. The mine is outside the community, and I think it's about a two-hour trip by road from Baker Lake to the community. The workers don't even land in Iqaluit. They're flown directly into Mary River, Pond Inlet. They don't stay in Pond Inlet.

Status of Women committee  They are all fly-in, fly-out communities. There are no roads, with the exception of the one now being built between Inuvik and Tuk. They are all fly-in communities. If we think about violence resulting in physical injury that requires health care, it's medevacs to Iqaluit or often to Ottawa, from the Baffin region to a southern facility.

Status of Women committee  There are experts far more knowledgeable than I am, and who I would encourage you to speak to. There is a reluctance to break up the family. Within the last two generations, but fairly recently, there was a reluctance because of the loss of a provider, as in a hunter, so absolutely there's concern about breaking up the family because of the loss of survival and the means to survive.

Status of Women committee  We must.

Status of Women committee  I can't offer a best practice, because we haven't had evaluations over time, but we can offer some promising practice from our expertise. We are very good at communicating. Information has to be communicated in accessible Inuktitut or understandable and relevant English. We have great success, because people know our logo.

Status of Women committee  Baker Lake is around 1,700.

Status of Women committee  Thank you very much. I'll try my best. It's really unfortunate that Rebecca Kudloo couldn't be here today. She works in education for the Government of Nunavut. She is primarily a voluntary president, and she would have great expertise. There are four regions of Inuit Nunangat.

Status of Women committee  I believe the only funding we currently have with Status of Women Canada predates this government, and we are in the second year of a two-year project looking at mentorship.

Status of Women committee  I am not the hands-on project manager, so I apologize for not having the details at my fingertips. It's a logical progression of previous project work around supporting and encouraging Inuit women in business. When we were doing a project a number of years ago, there was great interest expressed in mentorship.

Status of Women committee  Yes.

Status of Women committee  Again that's a very big question. We haven't been able to do any substantive work on child sexual abuse for a number of years. We don't have good evidence about the incidents. It's very difficult anywhere to get solid evidence, for lots of reasons. We know anecdotally about a lot of issues around child welfare, foster care, what happens to kids who are taken into care.

Status of Women committee  No, it's not at all. No. I'm quite sorry to say that we're finding the current government much more difficult to work with than the last government.

Status of Women committee  We absolutely can. On our website, we have a qualitative and quantitative report of a project we did in collaboration with UBC, looking at mining in Baker Lake as a bit of a case study. We have fairly detailed recommendations in our report online, ranging from the negotiation of Inuit impact and benefit agreements to immediately looking at identifying social and health issues, with a view to mitigation and enhancing resources.
