In December 1997, then-Prime Minister Jean Chrétien announced a five-year, $100 million Canadian Landmine Fund (CLF) to help universalize the Convention and its humanitarian objectives. In 2003, the Fund was renewed to 2008 with another $72 million, and a commitment to expand that investment vigorously through bilateral development programs. On March 31, 2008, the Canadian Landmine Fund came to an end, however this is not the end of Canada’s support for mine action.
