For R&D projects, 2 departments/agencies are required to participate. The original intent was to promote collaboration, but a side effect was that 2 or 3 departments were consistently asked to participate in projects, which added to their workload.
Il faut deux ministères/organismes pour participer à un projet de R & D. Le but initial consistait à promouvoir la collaboration, mais l’un des effets secondaires a été que deux ou trois ministères étaient systématiquement appelés à prendre part aux projets, d’où une hausse de leur charge de travail.
