Community development should occur at the local and regional levels. Communities should tell government what their needs are. How Federal and provincial governments should assist local governments to solve local problems. All governments should act in an advisory role allowing decisions to be made locally. All levels of government need to work together cooperatively, eliminating overlap and duplication.
Funding is needed.
Federal and provincial governments need a strategy but it should be local governments that implement it. More power should be given to local governments and organizations. Federal and provincial governments should keep their appeal and veto powers and arbitrate. The federal government should decentralize decision making and empower local and regional governments. Federal politics are not as democratic as local politics which tends to be more grounded to the wants and needs of constituents.
