I think I did read in the debates of the House that the government was going to be encouraging groups to come forward if they had information to share with the federal programs responsible for giving benefits. I think that's something we could do. Locally, for example, groups like the Sexual Assault Centre in Hamilton, if they're tracking cases locally, could ensure that they sent a follow-up message to CPP and OAS, and things like that—and the same with groups like mine. We're a national organization, but we do track cases where we can, especially high-profile cases of homicide of women by their partners. We have an interest in that area, so I think that probably the department already receives some of that information from family members or groups. I think I saw something about that, but I don't know if they would need to have a formal line, a toll-free line or something like that potentially added to their services.
