NRCan will also disclose the contribution amounts through the formal, quarterly proactive disclosure process. Once contribution agreements are signed, NRCan will announce the projects. It is expected that the majority of the 27 contribution agreements will be signed by June 30, 2017.
All applicants have been notified, and NRCan has started conducting post-selection due diligence and negotiating contribution agreements with applicants. The current number of projects expected to be supported by the clean energy innovation program is approximately 27, although this figure could change slightly in the future. However, 100% of the $25.1 million in funding available for this program has been allocated to projects selected through the call for proposals process. With respect to paragraphs (b), (c), and (d), as of April 4, 2017, NRCan had not yet formally announced any of the selected projects for the clean energy innovation program. It is a long-standing parliamentary tradition, which has worked to bring in significant parliamentary reform. This was not some cockamamie scheme that the opposition parties of this Parliament came up with.
However, the opposition members also rightly objected because all they were asking for, in order to embark on that conversation in good faith, was that the government would agree in advance to seek all-party agreement before moving ahead with changes to the Standing Orders. Therefore, it did not feel like the government was acting in good faith on that. One was that it did not seem to be a good faith discussion when the government had said it wanted to have that and then moved to close it down. The opposition parties rightly reacted for a number of reasons. It then, at the procedure and House affairs committee, where that would properly be dealt with before coming to this place, decided to move to close down that conversation. That ineptitude manifested itself when the government brought what it called a discussion paper to change the Standing Orders. The government has been inept for a number of months.
