• Triggers: Multiple and concurrent (Parliament, UN, TRC, NWAC, academics)
• Our Goal: To create a solid dataset for operational planning
• Methodology: (1) Work with Statistics Canada and all implicatedpolice departments; (2) conduct a file/system review; (3)compare with other data
• Limitations: Police data may under‐report victims (due toperception, etc.); some data elements were not collected overthe entire period
• Bottom line: Aboriginal women are over‐represented vis‐à‐vistheir proportion of the Canadian population
