As you can see, we have different chunks of the innovation pie that we're responsible for. Maybe I can start with the agri-innovation program. This is a two-year program. That would be part of the funding that you see in the main estimates, and it's up to $50 million.
This program is broken into what we're calling streams. There are two streams. The first part of it is really under knowledge creation, research, and knowledge transfer. We're looking at the innovation continuum almost from start to finish and at starting to harmonize programming so that the service is better for the client and we start to see the impacts of the front end, which is the research.
At the other end, the second stream of the agri-innovation program is on commercialization, as the minister mentioned, and that is really to see whether we can put what we learn in the knowledge transfer and the research into practice or commercialize it: it's either whether it is on the farms or in the industry that it's being used or is something that we can actually have as a Canadian invention and can commercialize. Those are the two bookends of that program right now.
Again, it's a two-year program for now. It was launched on November 10. As of February 10, we have already had 35 applications under the commercialization stream and 64 under the knowledge creation and transfer. We're in the process of evaluating those as quickly as we can to give responses back.
