I really hope so.
But what about 2019 applicants??
Let’s see it this way:
Program started on June 18, 2019 and will end June 17, 2024 — making it a 5-year pilot program
So,
June 18, 2019 to June 17, 2020 applications = 2020 applicants / year 1
June 18, 2020 to June 17, 2021 applications = 2021 applicants / year 2
June 18, 2021 to June 17, 2022 applications = 2022 applicants / year 3
June 18, 2022 to June 17, 2023 applications = 2023 applicants / year 4
June 18, 2023 to June 17, 2024 applications = 2024 applicants / year 5
Isn't?
My point is, the Public Policy (mentioning 2020) is referring to year 1 of the program, and I also think it covers both insider and outside applications.
