The process across government is more at the officials level, because what the officials are doing is finding that it's quite logical that we're overlapping and we're leaving gaps. Everyone is aware of that issue and is working to resolve it.
I think the one thing I would advise this committee, if I dared to, is that after many years the one conclusion I think most federal officials, and provincial and territorial officials, have come to is that it is not possible to impose solutions. This seems obvious in retrospect, does it not? They concluded that the important thing to do is to move community by community, asking communities to set their own priorities.
I think my colleagues from Public Safety will be able to expand on this next week. One of the reasons that the October 2010 announcement placed so much emphasis on the community safety planning process, which is being run by Public Safety, is exactly that: the community safety planning process goes into communities; it creates capacity. Of course you can't have—it's one thing we've always found—the same two people in every community having to manage four or five different departments at different levels of government. So they work on community capacity; they work on community meetings; they work on a community deciding what their priorities are. The idea is to go back to funders and ask for what they need, instead of what they're getting.
