I look forward to having more in-depth discussion on that next week, Mr. Speaker. The short answer is yes. The major thrust of the second phase of the Family Violence Action Plan is to expand the programs in communities and we have a specific program to enhance services in the communities where there are no shelters. We want to work with families who don’t necessarily want to make use of shelters. We want to work with children who witness violence. Also, part of the second phase of the action plan is to stabilize existing shelters because there are some shelters outside of Yellowknife, in Inuvik, Hay River and Fort Smith, that are constantly struggling to maintain their shelters. There are a number of phases to the action plan. Thank you.
