Perhaps I can give an example around the piecemeal nature of the funding. Recently we were actually successful in a funding proposal to the Women's Policy Office here in Newfoundland and Labrador to access funds. Again, it's project oriented, and it's not a large amount of money. We would like to have the ability to access funding through Status of Women Canada, which we are only now learning about in terms of what they offer, and that was through our application to the provincial grants process.
What we learned was that in order to access that funding, we need funding in order to facilitate that proposal development. We have been successful in getting that funding from the provincial level, and as for what we want to do, we mentioned earlier that we really feel we're missing out on the outreach component, on reaching out to women who might be vulnerable or women who might be in desperate need right now.
We plan to use the grant we received to do that work, but also to engage women in such a way that it facilitates the development of further proposals or project ideas that we might put forward to funders such as Status of Women Canada. It is very piecemeal and, in terms of sustainability, it's difficult for us without the support from funders to look at sustainable programs, because, essentially, the project we now have funding for finishes at the end of March. At the end of March, unless we have other funding, our outreach process is longer supported financially. We have to always think ahead in terms of how we can utilize that little bit of support we have in order to access other funds.
I don't feel that I can speak to the cancellation of the Aboriginal Healing Foundation. I'm not all that familiar with it. Most of my work has been with the Labrador Innu comprehensive healing strategy and Health Canada and sort of their core or A-base funding program. I don't feel I can speak to it or make any comment on that.
