When the program transitions over, it will operate with the same mandate, which is to deliver benefits to Canadians by the deployment and commercialization of clean technologies across Canada and internationally. As we stand up the program inside of IRAP, that mandate will be maintained, with the additional construct that our current programming also supports clean-tech firms but at different stages than in SDTC. We will be able to bring forward more companies into the SDTC programming suite to be evaluated and to be able to be selected as the best companies.
