Thank you, Madam Speaker. With sexual abuse cases, there are certain procedures carried out. There is a protocol in the community. Like I said, the RCMP is often times involved in carrying out the investigation, along with the social worker or the school counsellor, including the nurse from the community. Depending upon the findings of the investigations, that protocol is followed. In each region, we do have sexual abuse specialists who are available to the communities who don't have the expertise. Either through the RCMP, nurse in charge or through the social worker, they are available at their request. Often, they come into the community to work with the family of the abused. Thank you.
