I think one of the biggest things that would be helpful would be.... We do have the MCFD, the ministry at the provincial level. There is a bit of a perception, I would say, that our kids can't fall through that because that's a safety net. I think that creating streams of funding outside of just giving.... What's happening is that those programs have so many barriers to access that their capacity.... They have a certain thing they work toward, and in a lot of cases they're very capable of doing their job, but there are youth who are experiencing barriers to those programs and they're being forgotten. To have a stream of funding that would allow community-based organizations to create something without barriers, that's what we need right now. I think that would be really helpful.
