I don't know the number offhand, but I can tell you that SDTC generally invests between $175 million and $200 million a year in businesses in tranches of $2 million, $3 million, $4 million, $5 million or $7 million a copy, as they say. So it's a considerable amount of money.
There can be seven or eight projects to be reviewed at every meeting of SDTC's investment committee. Since there are six meetings or so a year, SDTC considers some 50 projects annually. If you add up the amounts involved, they come to a considerable sum.
And that's not all. Businesses that are already in SDTC's portfolio are waiting to move on to the next phase of their projects. For some of them, phase one may simply lapse because phase two won't be starting. And that's not counting the businesses that have been neglected.
Consequently, there's a serious risk that the clean technology ecosystem may be damaged for reasons that warrant our presence here today. It's unfortunate to have to suspend funding.
