We need a more generous travel budget because we need to go to different places. We need to meet with these people regularly so that they get to know us. Our message is clear and convincing. Every time we explain what we have to do, people say that it is good and it works. They learn how things are done in other provinces.
We succeed in building a relationship, but if we visit each region only once a year or if we communicate only by phone or e-mail, that is not enough. We know that in the public service and other areas, there is staff turnover and the people change. We need to be able to get out and meet these people regularly.
