Some organizations receive applicable budget funding during a certain period of the year, the funds reach them late, and they feel they have to hurry to spend them so as not to lose them. It's that situation that isn't efficient.
We should congratulate our communities that tell us they misspend the money they get. We should tell them “thank you” and work together.
People are also wondering how many stages you have to go through to reach the goal. Back home, for example, the applications are sent to Moncton, which sends them to Ottawa. To how many offices does that have to be sent, how many studies have to be conducted by various departments before the minister signs? Can't this process be streamlined as well?
