Having grown up around friendship centres my entire life, I know the valuable service they provide. I know that the Kelowna accord would have provided some direct investment. Would there have been an opportunity to leverage other funding to realize an economy of scale? Could we have pulled money in from different Health Canada or provincial health funding initiatives, different child care initiatives, which are maybe not directly mentioned in Kelowna, but which may exist in other pots of funding?
It seems to me that the potential for this was great under the Kelowna accord. I know the realities of the friendship centres struggling from month to month sometimes, trying to make sure the funding was there. Could you speak about that potential?
