I think they go hand in hand. Peer support is up to the individual, but the governments, federal and provincial, can help by instituting funding for women to attend conferences, and having training programs and educational programs available to them.
We have to remember that on the rural side there's a lot of isolation. Where does a woman go to get assistance in building a business, and understanding finances for business? It's not like there's a Scotiabank or RBC just around the corner. There's distance involved.
I think the federal and provincial governments can help by making unrestrictive programs to allow for assistance in funding, so that women have the opportunity to take some training.
