Thank you so much for this very important question.
We are working on sustainability. The sustainability of vital women's and equality-seeking organizations is essential, and I hear you with respect to the organizations, but I will tell you that there are places that I have visited, and I'm thinking of one in Halifax in particular, that frankly could not have kept their doors open if not for federal funding.
We know there have been changes in recent years. We've enhanced our support to organizations focusing on supporting longer-term, higher-value funding to organizations, including capacity funding. We recognize that applications for funding could be an obstacle for some organizations, so we've streamlined the process if they are applying and do not have the bandwidth to set aside time to apply. We heard this. We streamlined it and made it simpler and more straightforward.
There are more than 250 projects under the capacity-building plan that have been supported in this way.
