The model would be such that we do not have to go through departments we are regulating, the government, to ask for money in order to be able to do our work effectively and efficiently. Ideally, we'd come to a committee, a neutral committee, that would listen to us and that we are accountable to, such as this committee, to explain the work we do and the funding we need, the resources we need.
Work fluctuates. There are years when I've opened 40 files, and there is another year when I've done 24. Maybe there would be a way to give back the money that I don't need to my colleague, and she can give me some when she doesn't need it.
Something needs to happen, because it shouldn't go through the government of the day.
