Thank you very much for the question. Of course, the fight against climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy will benefit all regions of this country. This fund was set up to achieve two thingsāto maintain jobs during a period of significant economic stress for the sector and to ensure that we had a continuing focus on reducing emissions.
A number of companies have benefited significantly: 24 companies, including companies like Danzig Resources and NuVista Energy, located in Calgary, signed contribution agreements in Alberta for a total of 52 projects. That represents about $80 million in federal funding. Projects funded in Alberta have helped to maintain jobs for many skilled workers, some of whom include environmental engineers and those who work in the trades.
