Thank you very much. I'm happy to add to that and answer your question.
We have been actively trying to follow up with the Department of Justice, and we haven't been able to get a meeting yet. We understand they are still looking at how they will administer it.
I'd like to just reiterate the need for a population-based response and, with the greatest respect to NWAC, there has to be an equitable Inuit allocation, because the priorities of Inuit women may or may not be similar to those of the Sisters In Spirit initiative. There would be distinct northern priorities and urban priorities as well.
I would like to just touch upon the Healing Foundation for a moment. Our experience with the Healing Foundation has been that Inuit are often considered an add-on. Yes, they did outstanding work, but I would suggest it was not until about halfway through their mandate that Inuit were able to begin submitting successful proposals and organizing to be able to even apply to the Healing Foundation. A lot of the criteria just didn't fit.
So we're hopeful that with this recent and modest announcement, we will be able to negotiate an equitable allocation, and certainly Métis women would have their own priorities as well. We would certainly look to this committee for your support of that.
