As Stephanie mentioned, the call targeted proposals that would prioritize industry-led projects in this case. The provinces and territories were encouraged to participate as funding partners or to endorse the projects, but it really prioritized those industry-led projects that would strengthen digital infrastructure but also start building networks of partners together so that we would use digital tools, systems and practices to achieve greater supply chain fluidity, instead of only infrastructure solutions.
Like all of the calls so far, it was very successful. It was oversubscribed significantly, but 23 projects were approved for about $57 million through that call.
If I have time, I'll give a quick example of a network of partners that submitted a proposal. The Western Canadian Shippers' Coalition submitted a project requesting about $2 million. That coalition represents 28 different groups who are coming together to share information and build partnerships so that they can prevent supply chain bottlenecks from occurring just because someone doesn't have information about a particular good, a particular route or a particular arrival time.
These are great projects, where we're really interested in their impact and how we can encourage this type of work with partners in the future.
