In terms of eligible applicants, we work really closely with provinces and territories. We work really closely with the private sector. We also work closely with indigenous organizations and not-for-profit groups. There are many entities that are able to participate in and benefit from the program.
It's a program in which we've been funding all different modes, be it marine, rail, road or air. Oftentimes, we also will have multimodal projects, which really speaks to the interconnectedness. Part of it, too, is about the movement of goods and the movement of people.
Just to give a tangible, concrete example, through the national trade corridors fund, we are funding a road project with the Province of Nova Scotia. This is the Trans-Canada Highway, Highway 104. It's really about tackling a bottleneck that we were seeing on the highway. We know that this was an area where we had 15,000 vehicles, including 5,000 trucks. When you have that trade alongside the vehicle traffic, that can become a safety issue, so it was really important that we tackle that.
We knew that in tackling that jointly with the Province of Nova Scotia, we were actually facilitating trade and the movement of goods in the Atlantic region. This was an area where we saw 50% of the trade going up to Newfoundland. We were able to see how these strategic investments led to a safer transportation system, but also helped move and enable the movement of goods and the safe movement of people.
