If I can make a comment, specific to those provinces with provincial programs, I would suggest that yes, money to the provincial approving entity would be entirely appropriate. Unfortunately, there are many provinces that don't have provincial programs. My suggestion is that as long as there is money available...for instance, if in Halifax they need to put somebody into the witness protection program, as long as there's money there somewhere so that when they enter into the program they can utilize it, then it would be appropriate.
