I want to thank our guests for being with us this morning.
You mentioned the five priorities that you think Canada should focus on in the future. I want to focus on number four and perhaps number five.
You mentioned that some financial support should go to grassroots organizations. Some of us live a long way from the bureaucratic centre of our countries, and we often feel that programs that are delivered locally have more accountability and usually more effectiveness than things that are delivered from a long way away.
I would ask our two guests, how can the Canadian government help you in terms of delivering your programs on the ground, and where can we improve?
