Sure, I'd be happy to.
We work with a number of different departments. If a project, for instance, doesn't fit within our mandate, we work with that group to try to get funding for it through another department. We work very closely in particular with Aboriginal Affairs on projects related to aboriginal women and girls, and with Justice Canada on issues related to violence against women and girls through their Victims Fund.
So, for instance, in this project they transferred money to us. They thought it made more sense for us to manage this project, so they transferred some funds to us. This is consistent with the Government of Canada's objective through our blue ribbon panel to streamline the way that we effectively manage our programming. It made more sense for Status of Women to deliver this project. This project is...you're probably familiar with it, the Centre d'expertise Marie-Vincent. It was approved in March of last year as a 36-month project that is basically around the development of knowledge for aboriginal service deliverers on the issue of sexually assaulted girls. The project is going to develop expertise of service delivery professionals in aboriginal communities in Quebec to better serve aboriginal girls who have been victims of sexual abuse.
Status of Women's contribution itself for the project is $380,000, but Justice's contribution is $250,000, so that means $83,333 per year. That's where the transfer comes in. The total combined amount for the project itself over the three years is just a little over $630,000, but we know this is an excellent organization and an excellent project, so we're very happy to fund it, and very happy that Justice Canada is also contributing to the project.
