Summary
CANARIE Inc. programs are joint government/private sector initiatives. Programs are managed by industry through CANARIE Inc., and funding is shared by the public and private sectors. In 1999, the federal government committed $78 million to CANARIE for Phase 3 of the Advanced Applications Development Program (AADP) over five years, from April 1999 until March 2004. In addition, in 2002, the federal government provided a one -time funding of $110 million for five years to CANARIE to deploy and operate CA*net4, Canada's National Research and Innovation Network, through 2007, which has replaced its predecessor, CA*net3.
CANARIE's mission is to accelerate Canada's advanced Internet development and use by facilitating the widespread adoption of faster, more efficient networks and by enabling the next generation of advanced products, applications and services to run on them. CANARIE also acts as a catalyst and partner with governments, industry and the research community to increase overall IT awareness, ensure continuing promotion of Canadian technological excellence and ultimately, foster long-term productivity and improvement of living standards.
