There was a first intake of the Canada 150 program last year. There was another announcement for Canada 150 in budget 2016. The first intake was last year, for $150 million. FedDev Ontario was allocated $44 million, starting April 1, 2016, to end March 31, 2018.
Last year, we launched a call for proposals on the intake. We received in excess of 1,100 applications. The allocation of that funding was provided in the summer of 2015. The agency was in a position to support more than 380 projects for a total of $44.4 million.
Now, Mr. Chair, I referred to the budget 2016 announcement for an additional $150 million for Canada 150. The agency, along with my colleagues from the regional development agencies, is developing the details for the second intake, and details will be forthcoming.
