“The new online rules make it too hard for seniors' groups to get government funding. I want to know why the government is adding more red tape.”
“Mr. Speaker, the secretary of state claims that registering for a CRA business number and using the online portal is simple, but senior organizations are telling a different story. In my community of King—Vaughan, where 18 senior groups have been supporting over 6,000 senior volunteers, organizations have been frantically calling my office, scared of missing out on critical funding. These changes will leave the most vulnerable organizations behind. Why are the Liberals trying to bury seniors in even more red tape?”
