What type of government funding is available for WSI?
The federal contribution will be made according to the terms and conditions of section 6 of the Department of Human Resources Development Act. Approved projects receive funding by means of a formal contribution agreement between the recipient and Canada. The WSI is a federal government funding initiative. Contributions are conditional transfer payments for a specific purpose and are subject to accountability review and audit. As funds are limited, it is not possible to fund all projects that meet the eligibility criteria. Projects that demonstrate that they can best meet the objectives of the WSI will be given priority consideration. Maximum federal contribution is set at 75% of the total value of eligible costs. In addition, funding is subject to satisfactory review by HRSDC of the project’s progress in meeting its objectives, and, where appropriate, evaluation and financial audit reports.
