I have spent a lot of time discussing this issue with Beverly Jacobs and people who preceded her, such as Marilyn Buffalo, whom I have enormous respect for. I have spent a lot of time working through this proposal with them, and they are supportive of it.
You open up a question that relates to this proposal, but it goes beyond that and relates to the question of the parity of funding on this issue and ensuring that the Native Women's Association has adequate funding generally to advocate on behalf of women's issues in this country. That is important to me, and it is something I'm addressing.
In the context of this initiative, $9 million has been budgeted and set aside. There will be equality of funding between the Native Women's Association and the AFN, with each receiving $2.7 million. That also involves regional components of each organization. So for NWAC proper and AFN proper it's $1 million apiece, but through the subsidiaries there's other funding.
