the 2025-2026 program year starting with Indigenous applicants, followed by all
other 1st applications. Consideration of secondary applications will be
dependent on available funding and program uptake. AAFC reserves the
right to limit the number of approved projects per applicant so that funding
can be equitably distributed.
