But again, on a similar argument of base-plus funding, I think they should have coordinators. If you want to have a program to run, you have to have someone overseeing it. It shouldn’t be simply given to them on the basis that if they don’t have a coordinator, they still get it. I think it comes back to the argument of having someone overseeing this program but also having it
coordinated so that it’s functional and we’re seeing results.
I’d just like to again ask in regard to the base-plus funding…. I believe that in order for any program to function, you do have to realize that there are costs that you will incur that may not be part of your budgetary process, such as your rental costs, your utility costs, your overhead costs. We have to realize that you can’t have group funding based on per capita. Someone who manages a program in Tsiigehtchic is an individual who has costs that they have to bear too, in regard to their cost of living and whatnot. They’ve used per capita; it doesn’t really…. You’re not able to track a lot of these people, and that’s probably why you’re not able to find coordinators in a lot of these communities.
Again, it comes back to my argument on base-plus. I mean, if you’re going to pay coordinators, you should have a universal scale right across the board. You can’t have one group in one community paying more for a coordinator versus a community that’s paying less. Again, are those salaries for those individuals universal, right across the board, or does it fluctuate?
