I'll just throw in how important it is for discourse across the three northern territories. Arlene talks about research. We, as women's organizations across the territories, have done work on the causes of homelessness for women. It led to the development of on-the-ground services like the homeless shelter for women in Iqaluit. We can do great things--I would like to say that--but we need to be able to talk to our counterparts across the north, and the distances are great. There's not much opportunity to do that.
