Can the department not take the perspective of the people who are applying? Oftentimes, you have townships, counties, municipalities or first nations communities that just need an answer because if they can't apply and receive funding under your program, they may want to proceed on their own. Two years passed without any status updates. Was no one in the ministry ever even tasked with contacting the applicants? I heard someone on the other side say that they probably heard the same kinds of questions.
