Human Resources committee  I do the same training. My staff also does the vulnerable sector check at a cost to them, which is probably $20. There was another cost. I can't remember it now, but CPR.... I would like at least 12 weeks for most of my staff. Because we're talking about teens with disabilities who don't want to leave their houses, we do a lot of nurturing.

Human Resources committee  They do. In February, I put up all the job descriptions. I do Zooms, because I usually hire about 100 people hoping to see how many grants in how many municipalities. I have about 100 staff on hold. I feel terrible doing that, but I tell them they might have the job or they might not.

Human Resources committee  Sure. It's definitely easier if you're an organization and have more staff.

Human Resources committee  It took me 65 hours in total to work on the grant and all of the pieces—all of the payroll and all of the application. It took 65 hours.

Human Resources committee  I would love to have a support person who walks me through it and stays in touch with me to make sure that I hit all the markers. I would love it if the information came in chart form, in some different way—

Human Resources committee  —because I have to keep going into the system, into “manage”, into this, into that.... I try to cut and paste all the numbers so that I can follow them. I can show you my system of organization. The answer is yes.

Human Resources committee  Canada summer jobs can go with the school boards and work with their co-op programs and go into the high schools. That would be really good because that's where those high school students are going. It's the same with the university boards. There are different points also. You have all the government agencies for neurodiversity and all those for autism.

Human Resources committee  I also agree. My service was wonderful. The response time was good. Clarification of who has which grant.... They come in with numbers, not names, so it's hard to manage six different numbers. In the end, I hire all of my staff as disabled, so I get the MERC back. I always have trouble with it, and even though I work with a bookkeeper and we do a payroll, there's always some discrepancy, so maybe even do the MERC and the funds differently so that I know, again, number-wise, where all the funds are allocated.

Human Resources committee  I think it should be eighty-twenty. Your local MP knows what needs to be done in every community. If I'm taking those funds and I'm helping families whose kids are not going to school and are not employed, where are they going? They're going to be using your funds in your community.

Human Resources committee  I would love it if you could keep our applications every year and renew them instead of filling out all of the same pieces. If you are doing it in different municipalities, can we have one big one, and then the different directives or whatever they're looking for could be separate applications.
