Annotation
The release announces a CSIL hourly-rate increase effective 1 April 2011 (to $27.63, with further increases in 2012 and 2013). It describes CSIL as “a self-managed model of care where individuals are funded directly to hire workers to provide home support services.” Quick facts on the inspected page: more than 800 CSIL clients; about two per cent of home-support clients and 20 per cent of home-care support service hours; a CSIL funding working group established in December 2009 with the Association of CSIL Employers.
The release does not state a 1993 or 1994 founding year. It is catalogued as later official evidence that a provincial CSIL program existed and was being repriced in 2011.
