I want to reiterate that what we're finding in the city is that there is a lack of services for men. So if we want our men to get counselling, if they abuse women or they have violent tendencies, there's nothing out there for them. There's no men's shelter for aboriginal men, as there is one for women, and that's definitely needed, and at the same time, services where they have counselling, where they can work on their issues. I think it would be great if we could also include, as we have at the shelter, the traditional elements—or that we had at the shelter, but we still instill anyway. That's lacking, and it needs to be addressed.
