3.4.1  Total Funding by Canada

Of the amount made available by Canada for the BCF in Ontario, the Parties agree that $362 million will be applied to Approved Projects under the Communities Component. The Parties may jointly decide to increase the funding allocated to the Communities Component during the term of the Agreement, subject to retaining sufficient funding in the Major Infrastructure Component for projects already approved by the Federal and Provincial Ministers. The distribution of funding to the Communities Component shall remain at no less than $362 million. Any adjustments of this nature, if they take place, will require approval from the Provincial and Federal Ministers.
