Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Johnston, I'd like to talk about funding eligibility and allocation with respect to a program your members use.
I'm talking about the technology access centre grants. In Quebec, we refer to these centres as college centres for technology transfer. These grants are provided through the college and community innovation program. The maximum amount is $350,000 per year for five years. However, in Quebec, the federal government has capped the grants at $100,000 a year, which is a bit strange.
Ms. Johnston, why is the federal government's cap for Quebec institutions lower? How do you explain that?
