Yes, I appreciate that. I'm proud of my organization. Again, maybe coming from the private sector, I run it like a small business—entrepreneurial. We know every dollar saved can go to a youth who might not have enough money to even get to our program, so we try to save money so they can have it for food if they come hungry, or for TTC tokens, transportation or whatnot.
To your very important point of what the government could do, again, my strong belief is to look at the programs that are results-oriented, that work and have impact and hopefully fund them more. Organizations like ours are relatively small, and certainly in terms of funding from the federal government, very small. Just a little bit more funding could go a long way, because we see changed lives day in and day out. That's why I go back to knowing there will be people in my sector who will be annoyed, because they do sometimes get tens of millions—10 times more than us—for research and round tables, and ministers will come to speak and it looks impressive.
Even on this panel I saw some past transcripts where someone was saying that youth who are unemployed develop more mental health issues. Well, I'm sorry for being cynical, but obviously. Some of the things are obvious. We know that first-hand, and we do our own research.
All that is a long-winded way of saying—I apologize—put more focus on impact organizations and make sure there truly is impact. We have targets we have to hit.
