Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you all for some very powerful presentations about the very difficult challenges that you face every day.
I think across the country the way things are structured is a little different. I'm just trying to understand a little better. For example, in British Columbia, to a fairly large degree, for the decisions around policy the money is transferred in a pot, and then the communities actually have a lot more opportunity in terms of decision-making around policy.
My question is where, in that structural sense, your communities are at, and where do you need to be? To me that was always.... There's a pot of money and there's some best practice, and the communities make the decisions about how they support the programs and services they need.
