Thank you, Mr. Chair. I was kind of expecting to hear from Ms. Haener.

Thank you to the Minister for that. My last question is in reference to the change to the Change the Story strategy which I referenced in my statement. What would it take for the Minister to create a territorial primary prevention strategy on violence against women?

Thank you very much to the witnesses for answering those questions. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to the Minister for that answer. Does the Minister have an evaluation of this campaign that he could share with the House, other than strictly relying on participation numbers?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Of course, that’s an admirable goal. My last question, or maybe set of questions, in this area is about the Contract Management Committee Provincial/Territorial Secretariat. It looks like this expense was here and it disappeared and now it’s back. I’m wondering if I could get some detail on that please.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think that the idea for this program, which is to bring government departments together to respond to the complex needs of their clients where they may overlap in a number of different departments, is in itself very valuable because it means that the client service providers talk to one another about what they are providing. I certainly am interested in hearing what the evaluation turns up. Can the Minister make a commitment about where and when he will share the results of the first stage of the evaluation? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just for my further information, could the Minister describe a little bit about what kind of work the inmates do and what they get paid for doing it? Thank you.
