I'm not sure that a different approach is required, as opposed to more resources. I know that's an often-used phrase, and everybody could use more money, but the housing file is one of those wicked files that crosses over a host of government agencies and departments. It makes it very difficult to go deep.
It's interesting to look at the three principal cities in New Brunswick, for instance, where each community uses its modest allocation in different ways. In Moncton, for instance, they tend to be capital projects. In Saint John, there tends to be a desire to maintain the operations of a number of fragile community-based organizations. I am a fan and a believer in the HPS model of embracing communities and allowing communities to determine their priorities and call for and fund proposals on the basis of those community priorities.
It would be nice if our provincial government, for instance, could match federal allocations, but that's unlikely. That's not going to happen.
