Okay.
I'll give you an example of one of the very first participants. When she entered into the program she had just moved from Nunavut and was couch-surfing in Yellowknife. After having all the wraparound services, she now works at BHP and is making a very good salary. Her 15-year-old son is also working. He works at Boston Pizza. This woman was about 43 years old and she had never really had gainful employment. Now she's working and her son is working.
She once said to me, which really touched me, that having her own money--being given that opportunity--meant she was the boss of herself now and she didn't have to rely on supports in the Northwest Territories for living or even to take care of her boy. She's very independent. She's been in the De Beers posters and in the paper. She's almost a bit of a celebrity in the Northwest Territories. She's gone from that level of dependency on government support to making close to $100,000 in three years. They're not all like that, but she was one of the very first women who applied. Throughout those three years the counsellors at the Status of Women have worked with her and encouraged her to remain in her employment.
So we're a little challenged as to what we'll do if we don't get the funding, because we've created a need in the Northwest Territories. Not only do women in the program come for advice, but women in the trades in general come for advocacy.
That's where we sit in the Northwest Territories.
