Thank you, Mr. Chair. So in the Dehcho region where there isn't a family violence shelter we have actually funded what was previously the authority and through the Dehcho region to conduct a pilot project that began in 2014-15 to develop community-specific protocols. So in the absence of a family violence shelter is there a safe house, who do people call, who does staff contact to get someone out of town if need be? That was seen as a pilot that could then be applied in other regions like the Sahtu that don't have family violence shelters. So that work is ongoing.

This year they're focusing on training events, looking at building community capacity to respond to emergency situations. I don't have a lot more detail, but we can certainly provide a more detailed report. We had hoped to have this work roll out in the other regions without family violence shelters in the last fiscal year. That work was slow to get going, but it is under way this year. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
