Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I am glad the Member is raising this key point of interest. It is important to the Justice department working along with the RCMP “G” Division. We have a Victim Services Program in the communities. That’s just one step, Mr. Speaker. Also we are trying to create some awareness in the communities. We have various websites through Health and Social Services and our Department of Justice linking to various programming that is available throughout the Northwest Territories, but we continue to improve in our program. We have community justice programs, as well, that could be related. Not only that, Mr. Speaker, we need to start from a young age, as well, in schools. One good factor is those individuals are going to be involved in programs such as Going Miles, which builds self-esteem, and a new campaign called Not Us!, which is going to be happening at the end of March in Hay River. So those are the things that we need to be fully aware of and it is awareness that we continue to push in the communities. Mahsi.
