That is even more money in the pockets of the Government of Quebec and we were the ones to give it to them. Of that money, $242 million went to Quebec's Minister of Economic Development, Innovation and Export Trade. We took that money out of our own coffers in order to give it to the Government of Quebec, and now that government is criticizing us. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1157256\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We will continue to support economic organizations, but we will focus on one-off projects that have a start, a middle and an end.</p>",
