Last year, we were told, in Quebec, that occupational diversification for women was one of the leading objectives in the invitation to submit proposals that year under the Women's Program by the Women's Community Program.
After three or four tries, we submitted an application for a Women's Partnership Fund project, which did not produce results. We worked on that project for two years. We were not given a reason, we were not given justification, in the letter we received, rejecting our project.
I would like to say that this was a project that met the program objectives. It was not a collective rights project, it was an umbrella training project on women's rights in the workplace, focusing on non-traditional jobs. We also wanted to provide tools for nearly 100 companies in Quebec, and we wanted to work on the project with our member groups that provide employability services for women and that are spread out all across Quebec.
