$530 million is available through the Southern Ontario Prosperity
Initiatives, aimed at retaining, attracting and growing businesses in
southern Ontario to increase the region's global competitiveness. More
than $200 million over five years is also available through the Advanced
Manufacturing Fund in Ontario, aimed at the development of
