Is either one of you familiar with the family violence prevention program, and if so can you maybe speak to its efficacy?
The program has provided $24 million over two years for the program. Since 2006 it has supported 41 shelters across the country, provided shelter services for over 16,500 children and 18,000 women living on reserve, and offered over 1,800 family violence prevention and awareness activities in aboriginal communities.
Are you aware of these programs? How do you think they're doing, given that there has been a significant funding commitment over the last couple of years?
