Yes, there is set funding for five years, or whatever. I worked for some of those projects, some of the long-term ones, and saw tremendous capacity being developed, and then it was all gone, disbursed. The elders were trained to work with the healing programs. Without the continued funding, things fell apart.
It was really bad timing. It was at the beginning of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, so it didn't logically make any sense to take away the mental health programs and supports when they were starting this huge process to get people to talk about their past hurts and so on.
