Thank you, Madam Chairperson. A lot of times a development of such a scenario takes resources and infrastructure. It is great to have these committees and scenarios, but it seems like the biggest problem you have at the community level is, there are not enough financial resources to do an adequate job. Basically, everybody is limited. The
aspect of their funding is limited to that particular item through income support, social services or health or whatever. There has got to be the ability to move resources around and develop something that is workable and it is there for the long term. You cannot give it a quick fix and the problem goes away. The problem is going to continue on. You cannot continue on from year-to-year by putting proposals forth. There has to be some ability when these scenarios are looked at, the long-term planning in regard to knowing that you are developing five and ten-year plans in which you may have to fund these programs for five or ten years. You look at the financial savings to this government regarding the other costs associated with having to deal with social services regarding welfare and looking at the costs of policing, enforcement and all these other factors have to be looked at. There is sort of a balancing act of where you may see savings, but also that there has to be funds put in place in the long term. Have there been any programs developed to consider looking at developing a long-term scenario to deal with a lot of these health, alcohol, drug and social issues that a lot of communities find themselves in? We all realize they are there, but it is a question of looking at it as a long-term solution, not just a quick fix and hopefully it will go away. What has been done to look at such a proposal or scenario to remap the way we do things now with the idea that we talk about community empowerment and regional empowerment? At the end of the day, because of the geography and the size of the communities, they are limited on what, if they really want to do an adequate job, they either have to develop the infrastructure or look at long-term funding. I think that we have to go back to that scenario of long-term funding. Has the department looked at such a scenario so that we can look at it as a long-term fix, not just a short-term fix?
