Yes. Thank you for that question.
When we look at the SADI program, we look at whether we're getting bang for our buck on three fronts vis-à-vis the broad objectives of the program, which are innovation, collaboration, and competitiveness.
With respect to innovation, there are two measures, really. Are the companies conducting the R and D and completing the R and D projects that are the subject of their contribution agreements? To date we have 28 projects under the program, of which 20 have completed some or all of the R and D. We've also leveraged, for every dollar of SADI funding, $2 from other sources into those projects. So we are leveraging contributions from the private sector and others into those projects.
We've encouraged collaboration, because we believe collaboration is a key to encouraging commercialization and closer links between research institutes and the private sector and universities. Twenty-three of our 28 projects currently involve collaborations with universities and colleges.
The third is competitiveness and the impact of these R and D projects on the competitiveness of the companies. That takes longer to determine, because it needs for the R and D to be complete and for that R and D to be then commercialized, either as part of the production process or the products.
What we're seeing now, five years into the program, is that about half of the projects are commercializing or putting this technology into place.
