Thanks for that,

All these projects mentioned here are concepts. This was a call for ideas from Canadians, as I said, to test their knowledge of and level of interest. It was, in a sense, a kind of market study, if you will. Trying to understand whether Canadians would be interested in partnering to do social finance-type projects. None of them have received funding, not from the Government of Canada anyway.
