Under the Canada Strategic Infrastructure Funds, we have increased the contribution of the Government of Canada to a maximum of 50 per cent of total eligible costs and embraced a broader range of partnerships to fulfil regional priorities. As there are vast differences in the populations of Canada's provinces and territories, we have established a threshold formula for defining "large-scale" projects.
In Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, Nunavut, Yukon and the Northwest Territories where populations are under 750,000, total eligible project costs must be at least $10 million. In Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan and Manitoba where populations range between 750,000 and 1.5 million, the threshold is at least $25 million, and in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia where populations are over 1.5 million, the threshold is at least $75 million of total costs. This ensures that funded projects are large-scale and strategic within the context of the province or territory in which they are housed.
