[Advisors] YI Delays

[Bev Collins]

June is when they deliberate over the proposals that came in. It's changed so much that anyone who used to deliver to CAP Sites are probably in trouble this year. 

I sent them the CBC story that was done on lapsed funding, and the reporter said it was because of delays in getting the project started. We are already behind, this program is supposed to start April 1. If they decide in June and provide a CA in June we will still be into July and probably August for hiring. 

The ones that do or will get CA's this year will be expected to do more with less. It reminds me of what we said 5 or 6 years ago, that they won't kill the program they will just starve it.  Well now they aren't starving  it necessarily... but over complicating it by micromanaging. Now even the 10% that was provided to organizations to use to manage the program is being managed by industry Canada.
