Mr. Speaker, the Minister of the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec was subjected to some pretty harsh criticism from his provincial counterpart about his decision to stop supporting non-profit organizations, but he chose to wash his hands of the whole matter.
As he put it: “I did not make that decision. Cabinet decided to cut funding to those organizations”.
Can the Prime Minister's political lieutenant for Quebec explain to us why the government as a whole made such a bad decision?
