I want to speak about what we do in our community. I'll just explain that she comes from a northern community and I come from a southern community, so we have one from the south and one from the north.
How we deal with family violence.... In our communities it's not something everybody is aware of. It's hidden. Nobody is going to admit to any type of family violence in their home. When you have situations where children are acting out like parents would act out, then you know you have a problem. And we have that.
We work closely with a shelter from a nearby community--I think it's Winkler or Morden, or somewhere around there. We work closely with that shelter. The lady from there works really well with our health centre. When you have that kind of working relationship with the surrounding communities, it benefits your people.
The thing we're finding is that we need a lot of counselling in our communities. It's going to take years to get to the point where we want to be, because counselling is a big thing. Right now we're in a situation where we have so many different areas where people need counselling that we don't even have the money to pay for it. We can't get money from FNIHB in INAC to cover that cost for us. You provide us an amount; we've already expended that amount, but we're trying to help--
