How will eligibility under Phase 2 be determined?
What if the bank requires commitment from the Government of Alberta before providing financing?
What if my project has achieved some (but not all) of the Phase 2 requirements? Can I still receive a portion of the Phase 2 funding or receive funding in stages?

Who decides if a project is eligible or not?
What if one company applies for two separate and distinct projects? How is the maximum eligibility determined?
