There have been some excellent collaborations, among the communities as well as among federal departments. Our cooperative efforts work particularly well when the issue has been brought to the fore by the community. In Quebec, for instance, there was a case where there were no services, or very few, available for child sexual assault victims in aboriginal communities, to allow them to receive support in their healing process. Sometimes, the legal system was involved. However, in cooperation with the justice department and certain local stakeholders, at the request of local aboriginal communities of course, we are now funding a project to train people in aboriginal communities so that they can provide this support. That is one example.
The fact that the needs were first of all identified by the community is one of the most important factors in the success of such projects. The communities are in the best position to tell us what the relevant needs are, at this point in their process.
