CanNor was created in 2010, so we have really been involved in official languages for about two years now. Among other things, we've used the roadmap funding to leverage more funding from our other contribution budgets.
As I mentioned earlier, the strategic investments in northern economic development program represents $90 million over five years. We are able to use that amount, combined with the $400,000 from the EDI, to leverage additional funding. This makes it possible to do appropriate strategic planning and to meet the criteria of the other programs, which are based on specific applications or projects, for example. This funding enables us to pay people and assures us that the projects meet the criteria and can subsequently be funded.
For example, one portion of the $450,000 for the three francophone communities to develop tourism comes from the EDI and another portion comes from the SINED program. So it's a combination of the two. As I mentioned, this enables us to use this money to leverage other funding sources.
