I can't speak for how Ontario decided to just refer the student groups as necessary parts of the policy development, so I can't answer that question. In our city, we rely heavily on those crisis centres to serve our students. Not only do they have 40 years of experience in dealing with sexual violence in Ottawa, but they also have a long history of dealing with our students, caring for our students, and supporting our students. I think there's some reciprocal relationship that we need to develop with those resources.
