Thank you, Minister, for appearing. Thank you to the officials for appearing again.
On February 20 you announced funding for Justice Canada to host an event for National Victims of Crime Awareness Week. It will be in April 2014. And of course you were recently in my riding of Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe at the YWCA, where you made another important justice announcement.
As you know, of course, the YWCA is an important member of our community, and they do great work. Could you elaborate on why the funding for these community organizations is so important, Minister?
