I have not heard that concern expressed to me. I think that ACOA continues to be the lead economic development agency in Atlantic Canada.
In Prince Edward Island, we spend about $35 million in grants and contributions in the province each year. So it's an important cog in the wheel of economic development.
We provide advice to the minister to seek his direction on projects. To date there has not been an issue with respect to a difference between the advice the agency provides and what he's willing to do.
