Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women committee  No, sorry.

Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women committee  I don't have any evidence for that, sorry.

Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women committee  The First Nations Chiefs of Police service would be, of course, but I believe the AFN would be a great starting point. A lot of our PTOs at the provincial level and the National Women's Association would be a great starting point. There could be funding of something as simple as

Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women committee  That figure was an estimate accepted a number of years ago in a committee I was involved in, Justice Partners Serving Victims in Ontario. They guesstimated that it was a conservative estimate that there were 30 incidents of violence before a woman mustered up the courage to make

Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women committee  We have Walk a Mile in Her Shoes in Kettle Point, which is one of my communities.

Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women committee  There has to be a belief and a statement by the community on which direction they would like to go. If it is a self-administered police service they would like to know why a self-administered service is better than what we have now. I'll use the province of Ontario as an example

Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women committee  We offer Treaty Three up as a best practice. They are doing some wonderful work. The position that they have is funded outside of the FNPP. It was through a grant, the 1,000 officer program out of the Province of Ontario, that is funding that particular position. Up until a very

Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women committee  I think funding for each one of our individual services to allow for even one officer dedicated to providing that linkage to our partners. Their priorities would be education, relationship-building, and the development of a long-term plan in consultation with our partners and how

Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women committee  Yes, absolutely. Again, when we talk about the education of our community members, I think this is unacceptable. This action plan would be a great statement of the leadership on a national basis that this is a priority, that this needs to be addressed and is no longer acceptable,

Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women committee  I think the perpetrators need to know that this isn't acceptable, but I also think there has to be a mechanism to provide them education and address why they are making these choices This isn't something they learned in school. This is something they've inherited, and it's unfort

Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women committee  I think there's been improvement. I can't say there was a day that was the turning point. I would suggest that individual communities move forward at their own pace. Some of them may still be living in an environment where that is acceptable. I'm hoping that through ongoing inter

Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women committee  I can't give a blanket statement, but I can say that some of our communities are very advanced and they are addressing some of the issues that John has raised. It's through the political leadership, and some of the leaders really see it as a priority that they need to fix, not on

Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women committee  We've done a couple of sector studies, and out of that it showed that there is a lot of disparity from normal police services that are out there. We're hoping that at some point we'll have moved forward, but, again, 2013-14 was another zero year. It's not until 2014-15 that we se

Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women committee  I would say we're chronically underfunded, and I think the limited resources we do have we try to deploy as effectively as possible with the support of our partners in our communities. The young lady raised the issue of the grants coming forward for that sort of event, and that w
