At the request of the Canadian Francophone and Acadian community sector, the Department of Canadian Heritage's financial commitment in support of the implementation of this Accord is identified for 2005-2006 only.
The budget envelope reserved for Cooperation with the Community Sector in New Brunswick is $2,440,000 for the twelve-month period from April 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006. It is allocated as follows:
- the "Support for Action" component represents a maximum of 80 percent of the budget envelope; and
- the "Support for Innovation" component represents a minimum of 20 percent of the budget envelope and includes interprovincial investments.
An additional budget envelope of $2 million is used to support structuring initiatives by the Canadian Francophone and Acadian community sector. New Brunswick Acadian organizations have been invited to submit their projects in accordance with established procedures.
The size of the budget envelope is subject to the annual approval of appropriations by Parliament. In case of a change in existing or planned budget levels for the Development of Official-Language Communities Program, this appendix may be amended by common agreement between the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Acadian community sector.
