I agree with you. The regional development agencies were created precisely because we recognized that the regions had different realities and priorities.
Here, however, we're not talking about a program that existed before the pandemic and had to be adapted to take that situation into account. This is a program that was created during the pandemic precisely to respond to those specific circumstances. It's a national program with very clear national criteria. Accordingly, the expectation was that the eligibility criteria would be applied consistently across the country and then the program would be adapted to take into account the priorities and particular characteristics of each region. What is at issue here is the eligibility to a national program that should have been consistent all across Canada. That was actually the objective when the program was designed.
