I tried to link to both but the Bluesky character limit made it impossible in one post.
I will simple cede that my original response overstated what was really more nuanced.

I can't find the language "build capacity" so I think I stretched the concept of "readiness" in a CBC article.

The cost per petition was put at $1 M by the head.
