Thank you for the question, Mr. Lightbound.
The Canada Centre for Community Engagement and Prevention of Violence was formally launched in 2017. It is really a centre of excellence in terms of coordinating the Government of Canada's efforts related to countering radicalization to violence and complementing some of the security responses you've heard about today through an emphasis on prevention and intervention.
The Canada centre is focused on all types of radicalization to violence, regardless of ideology or political or religious motivations. As outlined in the national strategy on countering radicalization to violence that was issued several years ago, there are three priority areas that the centre is looking at. One is building, sharing and using knowledge. That's about really building up the knowledge base we have in Canada and internationally. The second is addressing radicalization to violence in the online space. As you know well from the conversation today, that's a pre-eminent concern currently. The third is supporting frontline interventions.
To be clear, the Canada centre does not work directly with individuals at risk or those who have radicalized to violence, but what we do have is the community resilience program, which is a $7-million-a-year funding program that provides financial assistance for some of the research efforts I talked about in terms of our building knowledge, as well as support for frontline practitioners and community-based organizations that prevent and counter radicalization to violence in Canada. That's where those kinds of organizations are dealing with some of the individuals who have indicated some signs of radicalizing to violence.
To date, we've funded about 42 projects across Canada. Again, some are research projects, but a large part of that funding goes to prevention and intervention programs.
