I have a slightly different view, in that B.C. is very unique, as are other regions. The composition of the population is very different. In our experience, what we've found is that programs such as the racism-free workplace strategy are formulated in Ottawa. When you talk to the regional offices about programs or proposals, they have to go to Ottawa for approval and they have very little sensibility. I don't blame them. They're not here every day living our reality. They don't have the cognizance of what it is. We find we are often responding to what's already been designed over there, which is so different, especially when you look at those types of issues. Given that B.C. has the highest proportion of visible minorities.... For instance, if you look at some of the other groups in terms of disabilities or first nations, we have a very unique composition, and it doesn't work for us.
I will come back to your question. Even in B.C., like in any other province, the situation of an urban city centre like Vancouver, Toronto, Winnipeg, or Montreal, it's very different from the other regions...from parts of B.C. itself, the province itself. I think you have to look very locally at what makes sense. What makes sense in Vancouver does not in Prince George or Prince Rupert. That kind of local responsiveness is very important. The program delivery, the program approval, has to take place very locally. I think that's where it has to focus. The idea of having an audit framework, a performance measure framework, and indicators developed somewhere is so process oriented...and not concrete delivery oriented.
