Thank you for the question.
I would like to provide the following explanation about the fluctuations that you mentioned.
Those fluctuations are also a representation of the funding that the agency received. In her remarks, the president mentioned at the outset that we are now halfway through our second five-year mandate. The 2013-14 reference year is the last year of our first five-year mandate. At the end of the mandate, the expenditures for technology and innovation were higher.
As for 2014-15, the amounts you are referring to further reflect that it was the first year of our second five-year mandate. In addition, we had launched new programs with a stronger focus on innovation. At the time, our programs had been recalibrated following the consultations that we held with the various stakeholders. So we are referring to the amounts disbursed, rather than the amounts earmarked for various organizations and businesses.
