To my knowledge, the organizations across the country, of which there are about 110, or 120 at the local level, do in fact carry out liaison and discussions with the other agencies. I'm most familiar with the situation here in Ottawa, because in addition to working at the NAHA, I'm also on the local board of Gignul. We are part of the Ottawa Aboriginal Coalition, and the coalition does work closely with the social agencies and the justice people, including the police. The mayor of the city has sanctioned an aboriginal committee to work with him.
