Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think the answer to that is in the efforts that the department is making to establish safe shelters in each of the regions and to respond to requests by the Society Against Family Violence, for instance, which has made for new initiatives that may be deemed necessary in that area. Encompassed in the safe homes will be provisions for counselling for both spouses, whichever one it may be, the children, and the abuser as well in some cases. We are endeavouring to meet the needs on a regional basis first, given the limited financial circumstances we see ourselves in.
