Here is what I would answer. Organizations such as ours are in line with the federal government's skills development approach for both the roadmap and other funding programs. The organizations have adapted to this type of funding. This approach is very interesting from a number of angles. That's not the problem. The problem has more to do with the delays in the implementation.
For instance, there was a tender in May 2013 to set up a Canada-wide skills development network. That is a very interesting project in terms of innovation, information, relationships and research. An organization like RESDAC managed to mobilize about 30 organizations to submit a project to the department in question. However, there is no news about the matter.
Organizations understand the reality and are making efforts in that direction. They are well aware that they must develop job skills and they have made the necessary adjustments. However, we all have to go in the same direction and we need answers today. I would rather have a negative answer and know that we are not getting the funding because our project is not interesting or that it does not meet the objectives than no answer at all. It is unfortunate, because some programs are really interesting. Yet no progress has been made.
