- The class contribution program has enabled provinces and territories to implement the infrastructure to deliver HPI tools. The contribution agreements have been an effective mechanism for delivering activities. However, the process for annual renewal and the financial reporting are onerous and need to be simplified. Primary delivery partners recommend the use of multi-year agreements and simplification of reporting requirements. In addition, as all jurisdictions should soon be fully operational in terms of delivering core programs it may be time to re-assess the funding allocation. Previously, funding was largely to put in place infrastructure and resources to implement HPI tools, now it will likely be on providing support to continue to operate registers, undertake outreach activities, and perhaps to undertake complementary projects that were not possible until now. Funding is an issue that federal, provincial, and territorial governments should discuss together to ensure it meets partners' needs.
