I've been funded a number of times through Status of Women Canada, both through the policy research funding pool and in the more regular research funding pool for community projects. I found it excellent. It allowed us to do work on rural women in Canada that hadn't been done, and so little work has been done on rural women. I was sad to see that go.
In terms of projects, we have an ongoing project similar to Colleen's, which is still working with money that came before the change. I think some of the stuff I've done wouldn't be funded under this current regime, in that advocacy seems not to be possible. I think advocacy is important, because how do you make better decisions if you don't get a critique of the decisions that are there?
