I can speak specifically about an economic development project that we just completed. We worked with AANDC primarily—and Status of Women did want to partner with us because they thought it was very important. We wanted to develop a model that could be used in other regions.
What did women who are already in business need? If it was more about information; I heard that someone, for example wanted to know more about what her responsibilities were as an employer. There's a lack of accounting services in the north. We've put together specific information. Who are the funding bodies in Nunavut? How can you access them? How can you get some capital?
We intended to develop a model, and as people became aware of the project, about six months into the last fiscal year we had 70 members across the country asking for information and support that we weren't ready to provide. We're hoping to renew discussions with the federal government to sustain what is already so successful in Nunavut and to bring it to the other regions. I think that is why we ask: what do you need, how can we help you? I think we develop very useful information.
