When we imagine government support as a not-for-profit provider.... One of the challenges sometimes is raising the level of awareness high enough to encourage people to act or respond. I think governments, regardless of party affiliation, have a responsibility to create the conditions where awareness emerges and to create the conditions for people to respond. I think governments lead in these instances. It doesn't necessarily mean governments run, but governments lead. As well, I think that, when governments lead and those conditions exist, it allows us to leverage the resources we have and find efficiencies in operations. However, we certainly don't have the reach as a single organization to communicate as widely and as broadly as a government.
