I think I can expand on what the delays do, which you captured briefly there. When our experiences are invalidated by appealing court rulings and things like that, this prolongs when the money is going to go, which prolongs when it's going to make its way into communities and into organizations to start to make frontline differences. It also reinforces stigmas and stereotypes about people.
I think we can do much better than that here in Canada, at the provincial and federal levels. When we know there are problematic issues, let's take responsibility and work together with our communities, consulting on what changes need to happen and how we can make them. I think consulting the front line, not just the workers but the people who are being affected by the issues, is how we can start to make real shifts with the help of our government.
