Statement made on 03 December 2009 by Senator Lillian Eva Dyck

Hon. Lillian Eva Dyck:

Honourable senators, on a supplementary question for the Leader of the Government in the Senate, The Native Women's Association of Canada, through their Sisters in Spirit project, has done a simply amazing job of addressing the issue of violence against women. The government has recognized the work that they have done, and I am thankful for that recognition.

Would the Leader of the Government in the Senate update honourable senators on the status of the application of the Native Women's Association of Canada for renewal of the five-year term to continue the Sisters in Spirit project?
