We're changing the way we do business. Consistently, across the country, I have heard the same thing from organizations in both rural and urban communities. They say that as much as they appreciate the dollars, the way we fund them could be done better with a simpler process, with longer-term funding, and in terms of the reasons we fund them. We're in the process of turning that ship around by ensuring that instead of one- or two-year funding, they receive up to five years of funding, so they have predictability. Operational funding, as you know from that recent GBV call for proposals in January, was included as being eligible.
We're also working with provinces and territories. We had our FPT meeting in Toronto for the first time since I took this role. We'll be meeting again in Yukon in the fall. We talked about co-funding these organizations so we can make better use of the dollars and better target our investments to ultimately support them in taking care of, and advocating for, the people who count on them. We are looking at doing things differently, but we're also working with other entities that fund these organizations, such as provinces, territories, unions, and so on.
