Good question.

We work with communities to adopt a fair and realistic approach to ensure the best chance of success for every family and child.

It's really important that we don't impose a fiscal approach on communities, but rather that we work with communities and with the province or territory to figure out how to best support the community in that transition.

What we don't want to see is communities taking on the responsibility without sufficient resources, and that's why those are negotiated agreements with communities.
