Opposition MP's are again pushing for FEDNOR to become a stand-alone federal agency.
The NDP's Claude Gravelle says take the responsibility away from Industry Canada may help get the money flowing to the communities and organizations fast.
"That's the reason why we want to separate it from the Ministry's office," says Gravelle. "The Minister has to sign off on it and that can take quick awhile sometimes for the Minister to sign-off on a FEDNOR grant.
Gravelle says they're preparing to reintroduce a private member's bill that died on the order table when the last session of Parliament was prorogued.
