For some organizations the confirmation of funding has come too late - many
of the students here in the northern communities have already found
positions. Museums and libraries received calls saying that they would
probably receive funding but the confirmation did not come through for
another 3 - 4 weeks. I have heard this is because the government was slow
in releasing confirmation of funding to Service Canada.
Maybe the government should be made aware of the consequences of these
delays. Unfortunately, it is Service Canada's beleaguered front line staff
who often have to bear the brunt of people's frustrations.
