Thank you for your question.
Balancing allocations and priority spending, including efforts to eliminate violence, etc., is always a challenge. Over the past three years that this program has been in effect, it has received $13 million. This involved four departments. At PHAC, we allocated $1.4 million to this initiative. The other part of this amount, or budget, was allocated to the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development, Justice Canada and the RCMP. A total of $13 million was therefore allocated. We always have to strike a balance between the targeted group in Canada and the amount of money required to deal with the problems.
As far as I am concerned, the main responsibility of the federal government with respect to these initiatives is to work together with other departments to ensure that more attention is paid to this issue.
My colleague may have additional information.
