The science, technology, and innovation strategy that was released in December had a new piece in there that was putting $10.9 million per year into NSERC's PromoScience fund. That has been a core funder of many of the outreach organizations across the country. I hope it will be deployed strategically. It about quadruples the amount of money. I think it's a very good step in the right direction.
