I agree with the member that money isn't the only solution to issues. One common theme that has come up in many of the audits is the whole definition of the federal role in some of these programs, and the responsibilities. Even today we talked about whether one department has clear responsibility for addressing the question of mould, and an action plan to go with that. That's why we brought up the whole question of legislative base, so that it helps to clarify what the respective roles and responsibilities are.
That said, we do note in the report that from 1999 to 2004, the first nations population increased by slightly over 11%, and yet the funding has increased by only 1.6%.
