I will point out that I certainly appreciate the collaboration. I've heard from people first-hand that many people are very concerned that, as these advocacy organizations lose funding and capacity, it's actually the communities and the families who are going to suffer very much as a result.
I do also want to put on the record, Superintendent Cuillierrier, that we in the NDP—and we made this very clear when it first happened—are very concerned that NADS' fourth pillar, harm reduction, was removed in 2007 by the federal government. We heard from previous speakers that the cycle of addictions and violence is a very serious one. We believe that losing that fourth pillar of harm reduction is extremely problematic and flies in the face of supporting people through a cycle of healing that needs to take place.
In my time remaining, I want to speak to Ms. Proulx and Ms. Crozier. You obviously do very important work in northern Alberta. I'm wondering, when you're visiting first nations and northern communities, if the lack of capacity on the ground, perhaps the lack of funding in communities, particularly first nations, comes up at all with regard to the challenges they face in providing services, training personnel, and housing people who might be able to provide services. Is that an issue?
