Right. It cannot be a complete download of responsibility and more importantly a download of cost but it will be more effective when it is done as a partnership. For example Calgary knows better than Alberta how to target the homeless population in the city. Mackenzie County in the far north knows better than Alberta what the challenges are in a large geographic area with a small population.
Allow these local levels of government to help target the populations that need it, the Province should pick up the tab and provide logistical support.
