Thank you, and thank you for that question.
I do want to just make sure that the issue of consultation is addressed with regard to the Native Women's Association of Canada. I can't underscore enough how well and how diligently and proactively our officials have worked with the Native Women's Association of Canada. They have a very long-standing relationship with them. Before the missing and murdered aboriginal women strategy was announced, Minister Nicholson and I briefed the president of the Native Women's Association of Canada about the components within this particular strategy that involved the RCMP, Public Safety, and community organization funding to work with a number of different women's organizations and aboriginal organizations on prevention strategies.
So this was a very holistic approach, and as I've said, the federal ombudsman for victim services, Sue O'Sullivan, commented after the announcement of the $10-million program for missing and murdered aboriginal women, that this was the kind of initiative--because it included prosecution and prevention strategies--and the kind of breadth of initiative that the government should focus on more.
I think that speaks volumes to the consultation that was done, not only, as Minister Nicholson said, with provincial justice ministers and public safety ministers across the country, but with law enforcement agencies at the municipal, provincial, and federal levels, including the RCMP, about how to tackle this very difficult issue of murdered and missing aboriginal women.
Beyond these, there's the centre for missing persons for police forces across Canada to access. There's also, as Mr. Jones mentioned, a national tip website for missing persons, which is also incredibly important in sharing information across the country with Canadians who may have had a glimpse of someone who is missing. I encourage Canadians to take note of that as well.
