One of the major pain points we hear from the companies we work with every year is exactly that. There's a proliferation of programs at the federal and provincial levels asking for effectively the same piece of information five or six different ways, depending on the funding program. Then there are the timelines where the fiscal year of the program is not aligned with the company's operating quarters, or they're looking a quarter ahead and not towards March 31 or April 1. It's a bit of a disconnect at all levels.
You're right that there would be efficiencies gained by normalizing some of these items. If the goal is to help companies commercialize in Canada and create wealth, some of those barriers, such as the administrivia, might be one place to start.
