As to the funding and the money available at Status of Women Canada, I know precisely nothing. The officers tell us that they are overloaded, swamped with project applications. Now we have much less contact with them. Beforehand, we got real support in preparing proposals. They made sure that the group met the criteria of the fund. It is quite normal for a funding agency to have requirements. We have no problem with that. The requirements just have to be clear, the dates have to be set, feedback from the fund from which money has been requested has to be clear. When the offices closed, our relationships with the fund changed completely. It is much more difficult.
