I am not sure. But Heritage Canada is a very complex department. I would make a distinction between what we may see as a higgledy-piggledy approach that seems to go off in all directions at once, and the need in the trenches for approaches that are made-to-measure, that meet the needs of different regions, different functions and different sectors. They may be for arts and culture, for seniors, for youth or for anything else. The approaches are tailored to those needs.
Did we have the same adaptability before 2008? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Do we have it now to a greater extent? The roadmap came with an implementation framework. I applaud that attempt to provide better focus for the implementation. I feel that we can acknowledge that, here and there, it did not have the desired effect. In fact, a community often does not know whether the investment came from the roadmap as such or not. It seems to me that there is one more step to take. It also seems to me that a community can be a significant partner in increasing the consistency.
I don't know what my colleagues think, but that's my view.
