Yes, I am. Responsibility needs to be put back to the government to continue funding these programs. They're not fly-by-night programs.
With our program specifically--and I know with Circle of Courage--it took us two years to really start figuring out what we were doing, what was working, best practices, what wasn't working, and the relationship that is the cornerstone of what we do with the kids we work with. You get three-quarters of the way there--and it's done.
We need to look at instituting some core funding for projects that have proven what they're doing is working; that the outcomes are there--and to continue to grow. Having five projects in Winnipeg that are federally funded is not nearly enough.
