Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The Pillar5 project that was recently announced was funded under what we call our prosperity initiative. When Minister Goodyear was here, he mentioned the suite of southern Ontario advantage initiatives that were developed several years ago to fund a number of different programs and projects.
One of those initiatives is the prosperity initiative. We've had a lot of interest in that initiative. It does a number of things. It supports business productivity. We've worked with people like the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters in supporting productivity in businesses. It also supports diversification of regional economies, and it helps build economic clusters.
Pillar5 was one of the many projects funded under that initiative. They're basically moving into more of a knowledge economy, creating high-value jobs. Certainly they were a good fit for the initiative.
