As I mentioned previously, the program worked very well. The $400 million was allocated to the provinces and territories based on their population. They were able to hire police officers. It was a very good program.
We think the program achieved its objectives: police officers were hired, they were incorporated into the police forces and, now, they are working. That is why we ended the program. It wasn't an ongoing program, but a temporary one.
Now I'll get to your more specific question.
Some elements of the department's programming deal with crime prevention. We have the National Crime Prevention Centre. It's at headquarters, but it also has ramifications in the regions. We allocate funds, a program of about $40 million, for various initiatives in the regions that are designated as being a priority, so that the initiatives have a positive impact on the provinces and territories where those programs are implemented. The programs are also variable. Obviously, the programs can change depending on the priorities determined by the federal and provincial governments.
We also have the Kanishka project, and $10 million has been invested in it. The project's objective is to understand the causes of criminal behaviour. Some of those elements are related to components of criminal behaviour in youth. So there is a grant program that supports activities, educational or otherwise, across the country.
Finally, we have a cross-cultural round table made up of Canadians of various ethnic backgrounds. It is very important and has been around since 2006. I'd like to stress this activity. I am often at that table—
