In our travels, the committee heard from a number of organizations and NGOs that are working on the ground trying to make a difference in the lives of women and children in the community. Over and over again we heard that the funding was piecemeal. They may be given a little bit of money over a very short period of time to deliver a program. That program would just be up and running and may have achieved a real level of success, but the funding isn't continued. Once the program ends, it is done, and they are left scrambling to find something else. And the something else may not necessarily fit with the needs of the community.
Now, you've mentioned that you're still waiting to hear about NWAC funding.
Also, I believe, Ms. Irngaut, that you are meeting today with the Department of Justice to determine how the fund will evolve or continue. It seems to me that all of this is up in the air. This is February, and these things come to fruition at the end of March. How do you cope? How do you manage? How will you keep your database up and running? Is that a concern?
Could you expand on that?
