I would say we're chronically underfunded, and I think the limited resources we do have we try to deploy as effectively as possible with the support of our partners in our communities. The young lady raised the issue of the grants coming forward for that sort of event, and that would be such a positive thing for us. It would allow us to create relationships and to build upon what we have now with the limited resources first nations services have and service providers in the community have. This would really help bridge that gap and allow us to create a better response mechanism, a more appropriate and lasting response to violence in our communities.
