Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thanks to all of you for being with us today.
I was certainly happy to hear that there is much support in each department across our government—support that is so beneficial for women right across Canada—and that every department considers this to be a major issue.
The minister recently announced that Status of Women Canada is providing $200,000 to Nishnawbe Aski Nation for a 24-month project to advance the economic security and prosperity of first nations women and girls. The project will develop community-driven and culturally relevant strategies to address barriers to economic opportunities for women in the community.
Could you give us some other examples of programs that fund culturally appropriate programming? Is this taken into account when funding is allocated?
