Mr. Chair, indeed, that is why economic action plan 2013 announced funding of $24 million over two years for the family violence prevention program, allowing my department to continue its programming at the funding level of approximately $30 million in 2013-14 and 2014-15. These investments contribute to enhanced safety and security of on-reserve residents, particularly women and children.
