Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Hopefully it will only be a couple. It's a very interesting topic. I'm used to being on the finance committee, and this is a change of pace. I think we're getting into a subject that normally we touch upon very briefly at the finance committee. Groups come before the committee asking for money, but we're not so sure that we understand the problems in-depth.
My question is the same question you have been asked, but I guess it's from a different perspective. In terms of services, are services ultimately getting to people who need them? We see a lot of groups coming before the finance committee representing different things and providing different services. I'm not so sure they provide services--because isn't the ultimate service provider the health side at the provincial level? Are the groups just there? They seem to be asking for programs, but there are a lot of administrative things involved. Is there money clogged up and not being used for the ultimate beneficiary?
