Nipissing-Timiskaming MP Pauline Rochefort will announce funding to enhance Northern Ontario's participation in the defence sector. The funding, connected to a FedNor program, totals $15.8 million over three years to integrate local businesses into national and international defense supply chains.

This effort is part of a larger $358 million national initiative aimed at supporting Canada's defence needs while promoting regional economic development. FedNor will leverage existing programs and expertise to foster the growth of the defence industrial ecosystem, driving innovation, investment, and job creation.
