Yeah, second this.
They could have made it very specific. But they chose not to in order to make sure the funding gets used as intended; to make sure that Canadian society as a whole doesn't suddenly collapse, as that alternative could have a much greater impact that would require much greater funding to solve, if at all possible.
It's similar to mountain rescue services. The last thing they want is that you hesitate on calling them until it's like the last resort. But that was never the intention. In fact, the earlier you call, the easier (less costly/dangerous) it might be to find you.
Any aftermath or potential misusage can be dealt with later. That's why they made it very clear that one should do it as soon as they feel it's needed.
