Phase 5: Decision

The Industrial Technologies Office (ITO) and Industry Canada senior management review the recommendation from ITO officials as to whether or not to approve a project proposal submitted to the Strategic Aerospace and Defence Initiative (SADI).

The recommendation is then submitted to the Deputy Minister, the Minister of Industry, the President of the Treasury Board and/or Cabinet, depending on the amount of funding being requested.

If the project is approved, ITO will advise the applicant and send a contribution agreement to the applicant for signature.

Applicants with unsuccessful proposals will be notified by ITO and may be given the chance to reapply.

This section has provided background information of a general nature on SADI's application and approval process. To obtain more details on applying to SADI, consult the Information Booklet.
