I think the community-level organizations have been feeling the pinch for many years. It has not been easy for them to make available the supports that people with intellectual disabilities require.
In some provinces the situation is a bit better than in others; there is just more money and the community organizations are better funded. Overall the feeling has been over the past decade or so—and it's sort of gotten more intense—that it's getting tougher and tougher to make these supports available.
I agree with you that without the practical assistance from people working at the community level, these individuals with quite complex challenges will be sidelined entirely from the community, and then they're either going to fall into institutions, which is not a good idea, or they're going to end up disproportionately on social assistance. The money will be spent, but it'll be spent for the wrong reasons.
