Okay.
Well, in 2013 we had the call that I made reference to in my opening remarks. As a result of this, we've invested a bit over $4 million that will allow us to test certain hypotheses about engaging partners and getting them to identify barriers and opportunities within their recruitment, retention, and advancement of women in non-traditional employment.
We've invested close to another $2 million on the component that was designed to increase economic opportunities for women, which is focusing more on engaging women and community partners to discuss what opportunities are available and to design community-specific strategies.
The third component of last year's call saw us invest $1.3 million to tackle, more specifically, the challenges for immigrant women who continue to remain.... Despite their being better educated than their Canadian women counterparts, they still have higher rates of precarious employment and so on.
Those projects were launched in the last few months and we're looking forward to seeing how these strategies develop. But this was not unique. The previous year we launched six projects that were very specific to the role of women in the digital economy. Again, women are formally about 25% in the information and communications technology labour market. They tend to have issues in terms of not only entering the sector, but also advancing in the sector. So we've launched six projects where the funding recipients are actually working together with collaborative evaluation frameworks to look at things such as the human resource practices, the formalized networks that could be needed to help support women to advance in these environments. So, again, they're fairly new projects.
The previous year, because it was to support the international year of the girl, we had focused our efforts into trying to engage young girls and young women in identifying the barriers to their economic fulfilment. As a result of that, we launched a call that focused on the economic prosperity of girls and invested again some $1.7 million in that on economic projects.
