Because this is not a government process only, I don't want to speak for myself, for my department, or for the New Brunswick government, but what I'm hearing throughout--and because we've made a lot of contacts--is that perhaps there could be an agency established. Maybe there's already an organization that is doing great things by looking at establishing indicators, monitoring, continuing to look at that “What was Said” document, and asking where we need to put the money and our efforts to address those needs.
The community foundations are phenomenal. They are doing so many things within their own communities. All of the things I heard about throughout this process are being done, and they're being done in small ways, tailored to individual community needs, which I think is important.
If we all ask what the global objective is for the province, and if at the community level everybody is working towards that same objective, then things can get done. We all work together to do just what you're saying, which is to look at the programs that exist. If they're not having any benefit and are not needed any longer, then let's get rid of them. Let's move our money—all of us, all of the entities in the sector—to where we can make the biggest difference in improving people's lives and reducing poverty.
