Collection search - Native Economic Development Program Files, Quebec Region, Montreal Office [textual record]

The accession consists of files on approved projects under the Native Economic Development Program (NEDP) in Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Included are proposals, contracts, payments and financial records, correspondence, progress reports, project evaluations, and market studies. These projects were funded under the NEDP and first administered under the Department of Regional Industrial Expansion (DRIE) and then under the Department of Industry, Science and Technology (ISTC). When ISTC took over the administration of NEDP, the existing links between the NEDP and the regional/provincial offices, as established by DRIE, were maintained by ISTC.

These files were initially created by the Quebec Region, Montreal Office of the Department of Regional Industrial Expansion and added to by the Quebec Region, Montreal Office of the Department of Industry, Science and Technology (ISTC) when the Native Economic Development Program (NEDP) was transferred to the newly created ISTC in 1990. These records were transferred to the National Archives of Canada by Industry Canada after ISTC was officially dissolved in 1995.
