I would like to add that we have provincial and territorial member organizations in every province, which would have that opportunity and the mandate to work with the various police forces. We would be the conduit to get to these organizations.
Talking about the Highway of Tears, we have women's organizations in British Columbia; if they were working with the RCMP and were provided the resources and funding, obviously they would work much better, and you could take that right across Canada.
In Ontario, the Ontario Native Women's Association has been working on stopping violence for about five years now. They've been doing excellent work in education, awareness, and dealing at the community level, to work with the men in our communities.
There is a program with another of their collaborators through the Indian friendship centres called “Being a Good Man”--someone was asking if there were any programs. So there are programs available. They're at the provincial level and not at the federal level, but it is happening.
Thank you very much.
