FCSAP dates, contact and eligibility updated

FCSAP now shows Phase IV running from 2020 to 2025, Phase V from 2025 to 2030, a new contact email, and updated eligibility wording for sites contaminated before April 1, 1998.

The FCSAP pages now show Phase IV as 2020 to 2025 and Phase V as 2025 to 2030, and the contact email is now pascf-fcsap@ec.gc.ca. The eligibility language also now says sites contaminated before April 1, 1998 were originally eligible, and Phase V continues to prioritize high-risk sites and communities where Indigenous Peoples, racialized, and low-income Canadians live. Funding summary wording was also softened to more than $5 billion total spending, more than $4 billion in remediation, and more than $500 million from custodians, while the announced amounts remain $1.16 billion for Phase IV and $1.48 billion for Phase V.
