From the numbers that I looked at the last time for another study we were doing, a lot of the migrants were coming to Ontario, and specifically within Ontario, to Toronto. A lot of the people do end up in Toronto. I'm looking at local settlement service agencies that have had to severely reduce their services. I don't have the exact numbers in front of me right now, but I know there was a large round of cuts which I believe happened in 2008. Nevertheless, I'll come back another time with more details once I have the actual research in front of me.
Once again my question will be about the services provided to abused people in these violent situations. Is having conversations with them in their mother language a best practice?
I don't know how to say your last name, Ms....
