In regard to the $10 million and the criteria, it was our understanding that while we would not necessarily as an organization get actual funding from this allocation, we would be in a position of working with the various ministries, the departments of justice, public security, and status of women, to be able to work with our provincial and territorial member organizations across Canada for whom we are responsible. We work on their behalf.
Granted, although the ones in the prairies, from Manitoba to B.C., will be able to access that community relationship fund, we will not necessarily be in that position. However, I do understand that there are other funds that, as a national organization working with our provincial groups, we will be able to explore, and develop a working relationship within that criteria. That hasn't been ironed out yet, but we are open to working with them.
It is important that we work with our community members at the community level. We have that trust and we have that experience working in this area, dealing with preventing violence especially, and dealing with missing young women.
As you just said, there were just two more missing in British Columbia. It's ongoing.
The various policing jurisdictions in the provinces across Canada, at the Council of the Federation, have made this one of their priorities. We are working with them closely on that as well. As was pointed out, Manitoba is one of the leaders within that area.
