Yes, and thank you for the comments. I appreciate that.
I do believe that as far as awareness, our understanding of not only sexual abuse, but abuse, bullying, and harassment has come a long way. As a social issue, these issues have come leaps and bounds from where we were in 1997.
But I think there's a gap. The gap is that we are out there in the prevention role telling individuals and our kids to tell people and to go to the police, and then there's nothing being done. I think that's a huge deterrent right now.
We need to really narrow that gap, and I think with these proposed changes in Bill C-10 we can accomplish that. As far as the prevention side of it, we reach, as I said, half a million people annually. I know we've donated a lot of money to the Red Cross. We've been in front of three and a half million youth across this country with education programs on these issues, specifically abuse, dating violence, bullying, etc. Those people are now adults.
There was a time that if you had a prevention program in place it meant you had problems within your organization, whereas today, if you don't have something in place, you know what, we're not signing up.
