It is probably too early to tell. We launched a partnership with Alberta in the spring of 2007. We are hoping to begin an evaluation exercise with our partners next year. We must let the initiative go forward before we can measure it.
We are very, very optimistic because of the experience of the Alberta government. This province is the real leader in the field of child protection. Albertans went through the same experience in the 1980s, when both the costs and the number of children taken into care went up. They created what we call the Alberta response model, which stresses prevention. They succeeded in bringing the costs down and in getting better results. Therefore, we believe that we can get the same results in our aboriginal communities.
