It would be my pleasure. That was in my notes that I didn't get to.
With Status of Women Canada, under the previous government we completed the first phase of a two-year project looking at precisely that, engaging Inuit men and boys. We did several pieces as part of that. We did a gender-based analysis that demonstrates the different impacts on men and women because we know women have had greater success in engaging in the wage economy, in securing full-time employment, and there has been a really significant change in the traditional roles.
Men who had been valued as hunters and providers have been increasingly displaced from that role, are feeling devalued, and so I think that's a great example of what is different in Inuit culture and what has changed significantly today. It is an example of what needs to be addressed to try to encourage men and boys to become part of the solution.
We've always looked at both sides, to see that a problem has a solution. Unfortunately, and even though that funding was committed under the previous government, we've been trying to finalize a proposal with Status of Women Canada for the best part of a year for phase two. Again, when I say I wish we had achieved more success with the current government by now, that's a perfect example of where despite our best efforts we haven't been able to move forward. We're ready.
