After Sisters in Spirit ended, of course NWAC applied to continue to update or keep up the data. New criteria were put out. We were told that there was not to be any more research or advocacy, so any project to do with research or advocacy that was funded by Status of Women following that Sisters in Spirit five-year phase would not be funded.
Evidence to Action I and II did not do any of its research. However, we do have volunteers who assist the work of NWAC, and they have maintained their own separate database, so to speak. We know that the numbers are always increasing, and that was confirmed when the RCMP did its own research and put out the report in May. But we were not allowed to do more research.
