I guess part of my advice is that I think the committee wants to pay attention to the amount of work that's already going on, as we look at the economics of policing and at the work that's going on around victims and our efforts to find ways that we can better support victims within the criminal justice system. Specific investments are being made within the context of the criminal justice system to reflect on the overrepresentation of aboriginal people as offenders and as victims.
Frankly, I could spend all of the program dollars I have in aboriginal communities to address just the challenges we have in aboriginal communities, and of course I need to do that across the country, but I think there's a huge amount of work going on. The things we're seeing in all of that work are interconnected,
We're seeing the interconnectedness of all of our work. We and Health Canada, PHAC, and INAC have partnered recently on a couple of pilots. This is not necessarily focused on addressing issues; it's focused on being more efficient and effective in how we do our business. For instance, the ability to come together and to sign with communities single agreements that reflect four different departments is an effective way to cut through red tape, but it's also an effective way to make departments talk to one another about the kinds of things they're doing. You learn so much about what we're doing on the same kinds of issues.
I would stress to look not just at the problems but at the best practices as well, because there's a whole lot of stuff going on.
