Our funding agreements for our various networks never go through the province. This has been the case for the management of community centres, but has not been the case for three, almost four years.
Going through the province added an enormous delay. In addition, administrative problems posed major cash-flow problems for the associations managing the community centres. So we shortened the circuit.
Otherwise, everything happens between us and the federal government or between us and a national community organization. For example, in health care, Health Canada works with the Société Santé en français, and the Société Santé en français takes care of allocating funding based on the situation or on the projects submitted. This is the national community level.
