The government has no trouble spending money for its own ideoloâ€" gyâ€"driven programs like pay equity, says Coupland, but allows other agencies go begging. "I believe in equity and fairness but I also believe in protecting the vulnerable," he says. Both the Halton and Peel agenâ€" cies want the government to take steps which include declaring that mandatory services (those required by law) have funding priority and exempt Children‘s Aid Societies from further cutbacks. They are also asking for the province to continue working jointly with the Ontario Association of Children‘s Aid Societies to address the "longâ€" standing systemic problems" with child welfare fundine. After being refused a meeting with Community and Social Services Minister Tony Silipo, the Halton and Peel CAS delegation will meet with McLeod and compaâ€" ny. in order to convey the serious nature of their plight and hopefully have them apply pressure to the covernment. Coupland â€" who said there exists an air of fear within his organization â€" was to have met with provincial Liberal leader Lyn McLeod and other members of her caucus on Wednesday. This has been postâ€" poned until next Thursday â€" a mere week before the NDP bring down their budeet. The base budget the Ministry is proposing for 1994 is only $8.2 milâ€" lion.
