Thank you very much for the question.
Most programs in my department are settlement programs.
We provide the funding to organizations through grants and contribution agreements, and then they are delivered at the local level. The department and the Government of Canada aren't actually delivering those services to those young girls at risk. Instead, we provide the funding so that those organizations can do that.
I'm happy to share with the clerk some concrete examples of programming that are happening at the local level. For instance, in Saskatoon there is a program that's being run through the International Women of Saskatoon that's targeting girls age 13 to 15. It's working with the Saskatoon police department to provide these young women with self-defence training so they can take control if they're in a situation in which they feel threatened. It's also providing them with knowledge on rights and responsibilities with respect to bullying in particular. I don't know, from what I've been given, if this includes things like cyberbullying, but I'm certain we could help the committee with exploring that further if that's helpful.
