Human Resources committee  I do not have the details here. However, there are a number of projects. For example, in the last three years, more than 700 projects were approved. It can also vary with the nature of the proposals requested. Ontario, for example, has its Accessibility for Ontarians with Disab

Human Resources committee  The list of approved projects is on the department's website.

Human Resources committee  Yes, it will. The renewal changes nothing, but it adds an element. We have a project broadly aimed at making workplaces more accessible. That is a new element that takes nothing away from the rest. In terms of present projects, our call for proposals will target small businesses

Human Resources committee  Yes, calls for proposals are made on fixed dates. On those dates, you have access to the submission information and all the criteria. When you go on the site and get nothing, it is because the application period is over. That means that we are currently analyzing the projects. T

Human Resources committee  I would say that there are several things the department is doing. In the supplementary estimates you will find some of these initiatives. The first one, of course, is the enabling accessibility fund, which was renewed on an ongoing basis. Before that, it was limited, and now it'

Human Resources committee  Thank you for the question. Actually, the budget has not increased. The program has been renewed. The program was established in 2008, in the amount of $15 million per year for a period of three years. It was then renewed. In the last budget, the government renewed this program

Human Resources committee  Exactly.

Human Resources committee  There are two points to make. First, the fund is administered nationally. There is no allocation by province. It operates on the basis of a call for proposals reflecting certain specific themes. The proposals submitted are then evaluated against the criteria and the funds are d

Human Resources committee  My name is Jacques Paquette and I am the assistant deputy minister for the Income Security and Social Development Branch. Yes, at the moment, discussions are going on with the Government of Quebec. Everything is being considered, including any transition that may be necessary to

Status of Women committee  I'm not sure that I will be able to give you the history of the fund, but basically the idea is that for major advertising campaigns for the government, instead of having departments going in all directions, they have a central fund, and they then establish the priorities for the

Status of Women committee  It's very much in line with what was done during the federal elder abuse initiative, so we're probably around the $4 million mark for the campaign. There are the two campaigns, because as I said, there is one round in November, and there will be another one in January. January's

Status of Women committee  There is one in November, which is the rerun of what we have. January's will be a new one specifically targeting financial abuse issues.

Status of Women committee  Yes. We'll leave behind a little card that we produced. I'm speaking to the MPs, in a way. You might find it useful. There are two pages here showing all of the elder abuse provincial resources, and when people are coming to your offices and you're wondering who to refer them to,

Status of Women committee  Exactly.

Status of Women committee  There are probably a few things I could say about this. Core funding is a concept that we as a government tried to move away from, and in fact did move away from many years ago, because we noticed that core funding sometimes was bringing us away from results and some of the outco
