It's very simple. We have a process for entrepreneurs and businesses seeking support. As I said, we have two programs: the northern Ontario development program and the regional economic growth through innovation program. You just have to submit an application. You can do that at any time, not just in three months out of the year. We always accept applications.
We first determine whether every application meets program requirements. For example, the project must be located in northern Ontario and stimulate economic development. We determine funding amounts based on that.
I would add that most of our funding goes to communities and organizations that assist entrepreneurs because the money we allocate directly to entrepreneurs has to be repaid to us a few years later.
