That would be one solution. We're always confronted with difficulties. Some municipalities were asking us, if we start the project now, could we have the guarantee from the government that we'll get the grants? You could say you could give a 30-day extension to the ones who want to submit projects and then qualify it. It won't change the envelope you have. As a matter of fact, it will simply use it more.
You could also say that the ones that have already started their projects could finish them and still get the grants. Otherwise, at the end, no matter how the contract was signed, good faith between partners should recognize the difficulties of one partner with the other partner.
