We always try to make life easier for the various proponents in the projects coming forward. This is why we always encourage the various proponents to engage with the officers and the managers at the outset before submitting a proposal, to make sure they have a better understanding of the various eligibility criteria and information they need to put forward.
Our experience has always been that it's always more successful to have that dialogue when there's engagement at the outset. That said, we're mindful of the fact that it could be challenging at times, and we're always striving to increase and improve our effectiveness.
Earlier our colleagues referred to the fact that we're all under the same portfolio, under Minister Bains and Innovation, Science and Economic Development. We intend to compare notes and share best practices as to how we can serve the various stakeholders and proponents more effectively as they engage with the government.
