Sure.
Since 2015, CanNor has approved $170.9 million in funding for 388 projects across all three territories, resulting in the creation of 1,500 jobs. Those numbers may sound small to some of you, but the north, with all three territories, has a population of about 114,000 people, so that's not an insignificant contribution. In your territory alone, in the the Northwest Territories, we've sponsored 90 projects worth $45 million.
We still have significant challenges to overcome, such as the decline of mining and exploration in the Northwest Territories. We work very closely with our territorial partners, the governments and our indigenous economic development organizations to try to look at things like diversifying the economy in the north to anticipate the downturn in the diamond mines of NWT, for example.
