Maintenance notes
Canadiana notes that this agency was set up in 1986, but I can find no evidence to support that. There is no mention of any technology fund in the KWIC Index for 1990/91, and the index for 1988 notes a "Premier's Council Technology Fund" which appears to be different than the latter fund. Therefore, I have left the date of beginning at 1991.
