PART D — CONDITIONS
Assistance provided under the Program for the Enrichment of French in Education must be used solely for
the purposes set out in the application. Once funding has been approved by Manitoba Education and
Advanced Learning ("the department"), no major changes may be made to activities without its approval;
moreover, what constitutes a major change in any particular case shall be determined by the department.
All funds not used for the above-mentioned purposes must be reimbursed to the provincial government.
The organization receiving a financial contribution must provide recognition through the use of the
"Canada" and "Manitoba" wordmarks for the federal and provincial governments and, where space and
circumstances allow, specific text that refers to the Government of Canada and Government of Manitoba.
The organization is entirely responsible for its debts. The department shall not consider any application
made for the purpose of paying debts.
If a portion of the funding is to be used to pay salaries or fees, federal and provincial legislation concerning
salaries and deductions (e.g., taxes, employment insurance, etc.) must be observed.
The organization is required to keep an accounting of all revenue and expenditures. In addition to the
financial statements required at the end of each fiscal year, the organization may be asked to provide
supplementary information and supporting documents by the provincial or federal governments. Auditing
and monitoring the projects are an integral part of the funding process.
The organization must agree to respect the spirit and the letter of The Human Rights Act and the Official
Languages Act.
Under the Access to Information Act, the public may request and obtain information contained in federal
and provincial government files. In the event that an application for information concerning this
application for funding is received, the department will consult the organization before any information is
released. It is important to point out, however, that only personal information and some confidential
financial information concerning a third party may be withheld. Once funding has been approved, the
amount, the purpose for which it is granted and the name of the organization can be released to the
public.
The department will notify organizations in writing about the results of their application for funding under
the Program for the Enrichment of French in Education as soon as a decision is reached by the Province of
Manitoba.
