Thank you.
Welcome. My first question here is going to go to Ms. Landry.
I wonder whether you can comment on the prevention side and on what suggestions you would have for the committee for being able to assist women to live empowered lives so that they don't even face incarceration to begin with. Rather than putting focus on the “during incarceration” or “after incarceration” stage, what do we do to just prevent it, to empower these aboriginal women to be able to live great lives?
Let me be very specific. I'm interested in your take on this. Is it best accomplished through big government programs, or would it be better accomplished by empowering community members and organizations to do the work on the ground?
