Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Status of Women Council actually was doing campaign schools within the communities for a couple of years. I am not sure how long, in all honesty, but we found that they were only working at getting women into the Legislative Assembly. Not that we don't need to get women into the Assembly, but we do need to branch out into other directions; so we looked at their model, and we looked at designing it to meet better needs.
We took it internally in the short term to be able to address the issues, such as getting more women into municipal or Aboriginal governments or school boards, et cetera, because we recognized very quickly that we needed to expand it; that a lot of women, because of various reasons, childcare being one of them, not wanting to travel, leaving their children, was a huge detriment to actually putting their name forward here. In the last campaign that we did, women were talking about a support group. We are looking at that, too, and trying to figure out how we can do it online.
This is not meant to be a long-term solution. I don't have the resources. We don't know if there will be any women elected next time, and it would be inappropriate, then, to do it. I think what we are looking at is just developing a strong campaign school that will reach all of the areas of politics, that will address all of the issues that women want, and when that is done, at that point, then we will look at turning it over to whoever is the best candidate for that, not saying who that may be at this point. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
