One of the problems with that is that we get the impression that the costs carried over from year to year are as significant as what is actually spent. At the same time, the problems remain.
I do want to give a very concrete example, that of the Maison d'hébergement l'Émeraude, a shelter in La Sarre for women who are victims of domestic violence. Seven similar shelters had issues with the disbursement of funds, but also with last-minute conditions added by CMHC, once the letters of agreement and approval had already been issued. CMHC doesn't take Quebec's reality into account. Non-profit organizations are being asked to pay a consultant to analyze the work, when the Régie du bâtiment du Québec already inspects it. Responsibilities continue to be duplicated because Quebec has a different Civil Code.
Why isn't CMHC adapting its programs to Quebec's reality? Will Build Canada Homes finally take that into account or, once again, will Quebec be penalized?
