We tell each other a lot of things, on a daily basis, about what we could be doing. I think it's important in our line of work to reflect on the successes and all that we have been able to achieve. I will tell you that it's troubling, to say the least, when governments tell us we need to do a better job of balancing the budget. Really? We have 115 clients, a few staff, $150,000 a year. The challenges are growing—not by the year, but by the week. We know that if we had more resources we could do more and we would do more. Right now we are maxing ourselves out, and it is critical that we have the support and political will of the federal government to help us to help everybody. We feel like somebody has taken us by the shoulders on the front lines and is just pushing down on us. The weight just keeps coming down. We're also spending more time running around filling out grants, instead of providing the programs and support that we're capable of. We're running around doing proposals, best practices, and evaluation plans. Of course we need to be accountable, and we are accountable. We're accountable to one another, and we believe that we should be accountable to the taxpayers of Canada—just as we believe the federal and provincial governments should be accountable. But we need to stop running around competing with everybody, filling out an application every other day. We're spending hours on applications for maybe $3,000.
To answer your question, we know we could do more with those resources.
