The social economy initiative rolled out in Quebec more quickly because they had a network they could more quickly mobilize through the leadership of Le Chantier. Across the rest of the country the groups were not as well organized, so they were not as far along in signing the contract and getting it signed.
Even though it happened faster in Quebec because of the networks that existed, that does not mean there was less need outside of Quebec. One could actually argue that there's a profound need for the networks that are not as mobilized and advanced for the rest of Canada. So there is a great need for capacity-building and financing support to nourish the social economy networks across the country, and we were not consulted on the decisions.
