Further to Pierre's explanation, under the Growing Forward 2 framework, we have $3 billion that is invested for voted programs. Of that $3 billion, $2 billion is in what we refer to as cost-shared strategic initiatives. It's the carry-forward from last year, the $35 million, that is in relation to the cost-shared strategic initiatives, which are programs designed and developed by provinces and territories under the Growing Forward 2 framework. Those programs are designed and delivered by provinces and territories. As Pierre mentioned, federally we provide 60 cents on every dollar in relation to those programs.
Under the current framework the amount of funding that's been earmarked for those cost-shared strategic initiatives was increased relative to the previous framework. It's up to the provinces and territories to decide how to design and determine the nature of those programs. They have the flexibility to determine the programming that will meet their local and regional needs.
In that context under the framework, together with provinces and territories, we agree there are some specific objectives we're trying to achieve further to that framework. While they can design and deliver to meet local and regional needs, they have to focus on three areas. The first objective is competitiveness and market development in terms of supporting our industry and making it more competitive, and in that context supporting them in terms of maintaining or expanding market share. The second objective relates to innovation and helping our industry to remain innovative. The third objective is programming that links to adaptability and industry capacity.
The cost-shared strategic initiatives are the three broad program areas that are supported by the funding under that set of programs. The provinces and territories have the flexibility to decide exactly what they deliver under those broad objectives.
