In New Brunswick, new services are being requested. New Brunswick is often used as an example because it is the only officially bilingual province in Canada. That comes with a responsibility; people expect to receive services in French.
The number of organizations has increased over the past few years. As my colleagues pointed out, there is no indexation. The funding envelope is set for five years. There are new organizations offering new services and they have to use the same funding envelope as the others. In order to provide enough funding and new services, money has to be taken away from others. Society is evolving. We're robbing Peter to pay Paul. Are we coming out the better for it? I'm not so sure.
