That company is based in the riding of Anjou\u2014Rivi\u00e8re-des-Prairies. It gave over $5,000 to the government candidate in the election and over $1,000 to the governing party.</p>\n<p>Will the Minister of Human Resources Development not agree that it is inappropriate for companies receiving funds from a government program to turn around and give money back to a political party that gave it the money?</p>",
