I'll try not to have a long preamble this time.
We talked about funding. There have been some new resources identified through your government. I think there was $4.5 million identified for the Quality of Life Secretariat. The Government of Canada has recently announced $9 million in funding. There are more resources to draw from.
We've heard in the last while from different people about the difficulty of trying to access money. The proposal requirements are fairly difficult to manoeuvre through, such as the drafting. The funding that is available is inadequate. For a lot of the organizations and groups that want to use this money, it seems the criteria doesn't fit the need.
Could you talk about that a little? We've also heard there's a 32-week waiting period before you get your money, and then you have to scramble to spend it. There seems to be a lot of issues around funding. Have you experienced any of that?
