FedNor provides targeted support to the region's official language minority communities, including through the Government of Canada's economic development initiative. Since 2015, approximately $6.4 million has been invested in francophone communities under this program. In addition to this initiative, our core programs have also made it possible to make key investments in official language minority communities, totalling $60 million since 2015.
For example, we supported Drillco Mining, a francophone company in the critical minerals sector that created the industry's first modular clean‑tech drilling system. We've helped them export that technology.
I would also like to point out that FedNor has 101 positions, more than 50% of which are designated bilingual. This allows us to support bilingual organizations.
