It was the Government of Ontario that provided the grant to the Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness. It was a grant from their victims' justice fund. They give out money on a yearly basis, usually for one-off projects. This was project money to conduct this review around the province of Ontario, because it was an Ontario grant; to speak to people on the front lines of the criminal justice system, crime victims and survivors; and then to prepare a report and submit it. And that's what the Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness did.
