Mr. Speaker, changes to the New Horizons for Seniors program are threatening hundreds of community projects.
Organizations have barely a month to register as a business, obtain a registration number and then submit their projects. Otherwise, they will be disqualified. Yesterday, the Secretary of State for Seniors responded to this concern by telling them to figure it out themselves, that there is still plenty of time. For these volunteers who have no resources, July 14 may as well be tomorrow.
Will the government delay its changes instead of treating our community organizations with contempt?
