As I mentioned before, governments have tried in the past to do devolution. It was done in the 1970s and the 1980s. Mostly what we did at the time was to transfer programs as they were, with not necessarily the appropriate level of funding and at the community level.
What we're trying to do now is more to have a discussion at the aggregate level on how exactly you will plan for this, and also about the accountability structure. The model we have is not necessarily a one size fits all.
One model we have that is being developed now is the one in B.C. It allows for a better understanding, a better capacity, to analyze the data, create new data and actually create and change the programs. That's what we would like to see in the future.
That's what we're doing now. As was mentioned before, success is not measured by funding. You need to be able to remove the funding issue from the equation so you can focus on the rest.
I think that's where we are now. We're in a situation where we can say we are addressing the funding issue, so now it's an issue about how you organize the service: How do you do it and what do you do?
That's the discussion we are having, and it's a very different discussion from the one I've had in the past.
