Having managed projects in Quebec and the Maritimes, I can tell you that there are some differences, though not significant ones. What I would say is it's easier to bring projects to fruition in regions outside Quebec. That said, however, I don't have any specific examples in mind.
Looking at the projects carried out under the ACCORD strategy I mentioned earlier, I would say that, empirically speaking, of a total budget of $14 million for a research project, the Government of Quebec provided about $2.5 million and Economic Development Canada provided around the same.
In terms of coordinated initiatives, Economic Development Canada's contribution is quite considerable and very much appreciated.
