Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, gentlemen.
I had my own experience this past season. My hometown celebrated its hundred-year anniversary and they received money from Canadian Heritage as a result. Maybe it's beneficial to the committee or not, but what they did--which I would implore any group like that to do--is instead of just picking up the application to be filled out first, they actually visited the office of Canadian Heritage and they were walked through the process. And it was far and above a great exercise.
One of the issues, too, is that you're dealing with volunteer fatigue. That's why it's so important to have that application process so simplified. Now, I can't give you specific examples of how you're going to do that, because an application is an application. At some point it just has to be--for want of a better term--dumbed down. It's the only term I have, but I hate using it; it's not really an apt description, but you get the idea. It's plain-speak, and I think you touched on that a little while ago. You don't want to be in a position where you're doing a lot of that backfilling, we'll say, so I understand that.
Maybe you should have some kind of a committee to look at the application process, but in that committee have somebody from the volunteer sector to do that. It's very difficult.
You mentioned earlier about a pilot project. You have a couple of pilot projects that are ongoing or finished. At what stage are they? Can you give me an example?
