I have a comment on that subject.
Although I very much appreciate the fact that funding has been renewed for years, I emphasize that it has plateaued. It has not been indexed to the cost of living. Consequently, since 1997, we have had to cut staff by some 20%, despite our stable funding, which has reduced our ability to provide services directly in the communities.
The cost of living is rising. If you have steady employees, you have to recognize their services. Since we serve the population as a whole, a 20% staff cut has the effect of reducing our ability to offer all programs and services.
