For sure, based in B.C., obviously I know it from that perspective. Each province will have its own intricacies with doing it; however, the federal system is somewhat homogenous across the country. In fact, IRQR is in the process of requesting registered status from the CRA, which will enable it to get the funding. However, in emergent situations like this, where we have a critical need immediately, that wait is unacceptable. When you're dealing with a six-year wait for an interview, and now you've put two years on it, people will die before we get help to them.
