Thank you to all our witnesses for joining us here today. It's lovely to be able to consult people in their home community. I'm very glad to be here in Halifax this morning.
Ms. Corbin and Ms. Roberts, we've certainly heard on other files, such as housing, that money is quick to be announced but slow to roll out. The process for accessing funds can be quite cumbersome.
I'm glad to hear of the good work that's already happening here in Nova Scotia on school meal programs. I'm wondering if you have some advice for the committee on how best the federal government could become a partner without disrupting the good work that's already going on. How could we be there to supplement what's happening in a way that doesn't create a lot of extra administrative work for your organizations, which are already helping to fill that need, so that you could simply focus on expanding your operations to serve more people?
