The Fund is dedicated to the administration of the Société du Plan Nord and to financing its activities that concern financial assistance for strategic infrastructure, measures promoting the development of the area covered by the Northern Plan, research and development, knowledge acquisition, protection of that area, and social measures aimed, in particular, at meeting the needs of the populations living in that area.
The Fund is also dedicated to financing the carrying out of the mandates given to Investissement Québec for the purpose of promoting the economic development of the area covered by the Northern Plan.
Financial assistance for strategic infrastructure may be for infrastructure construction, renewal, maintenance or operation.

The Minister of Revenue transfers to the Fund, out of the sums credited to the general fund, at the intervals and in accordance with the other terms determined by the Government, the part that the latter determines of the proceeds of the taxes referred to in the following subparagraphs, without exceeding, for each fiscal year, the amount specified:

the income tax payable by individuals under Title I of Book V of Part I of the Taxation Act (
chapter I-3
