Money, programs. Especially in New Brunswick, we have an issue with funding for off reserve, on reserve...trying to access workers. Now these programs are trying to work with a union...or with me, for our organization to work with the communities. Our organization gets the people who leave the reserves, who come to the city to work, and then all of a sudden we're not acknowledged for helping the off-reserve people. That's why we're trying to find more dollars, to have more people to help the women and children who need help right now.
I know it is hurtful to say we are hurting spirits. That's exactly what we're doing. We're allowing abusers to keep abusing.
Of course we need research. The way everything goes, we have enough information now to know what needs to be done. We're reinventing the wheel every time there's another paper, more research, or another book done. We have shelves filled with the definitions of what violence is and what needs to be done. Now we need to move forward to take those recommendations, those studies, and to actually put government money toward the people who are going to make a difference.
