Federal Email

Q170: By the end of September 2016, will the new federal government email system be completed?
Yes: 30%
(Substantial completion is what counts; there can be a few departments not using the system, or a few features not yet released.)

The federal government is currently in the process of merging the email systems of most of its departments into a single unified system (see article here).  The original scheduled completion date was March 2015, but that has been pushed back to September 2016.  I think that further delays are very likely; this sort of complicated project often takes much longer than originally planned, and the delays that have already happened are not a good sign.
