I'd be happy to answer. We started the consultation process, and September 29 was the launch. The Native Women's Association, the Assembly of First Nations, as well as the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs are out there as we speak.
The Native Women's Association has been ahead of everyone. They've had three consultation sessions across the country so far. What they're doing is breaking it up into three different areas. They have focus groups, then they have open sessions, and then they have a support session for the women who come.
The Assembly of First Nations is just starting. They're going to address the 630 communities across the country. They've decentralized their consultations, so each of the regions will consult in the manner they want in their region. They will be starting this week in Vancouver.
The Department of Indian and Northern Affairs will be consulting with any one of those groups that are not represented or that purport that they do not want AFN or NWAC representing them. That's the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, the provincial and territorial governments of course, and the Indigenous Bar Association.
The sessions I've attended so far have been very productive. Of course, they have all been Native Women's Association, because the AFN isn't on the road yet. But they have been very informative with a lot of discussion about exactly what you've brought up. There are a lot of informed women who are coming forward and expressing their opinions on the three options that have been presented, as well as bringing other options that might be considered.
