It's tremendously important from our perspective. We finally located one NGO in the Lower Mainland to deal with the two victims that we have in a case that's before the courts now. They were a godsend. Without their assistance, we wouldn't have known what to do.
There were times in the course of the file when we wondered where we were going to send the people, outside of considering someone taking them home. I had one detective who was going to take one of the victims home for Christmas, if you can believe it, because we just didn't think she should be housed in isolation for so long, because it took so long to get it to go to court.
So yes, NGOs play a very important role.
