I think it was during general comments that I made some comments towards the Health Promotion Fund and asked about multi-year funding. The Minister did confirm that there was multi-year funding with no cap on the years that a certain organization can continue to get that funding, and if it is a successful program, it would possibly turn into core programming dollars to fund the successful program. In terms of the Health Promotion Fund, if it hasn’t increased and we do get the same organizations utilizing the same dollars for successful programs, that doesn’t free up any new dollars for any other organizations that are coming up with unique or innovative ideas that can have an impact on the health of our residents of the Northwest Territories.
In that sense, does the department look at creating some type of limit on the number of years that an organization can access funding? If it’s continued, then it just becomes core funding, from what I’m thinking.
