First, the $15 million would be for regions other than the North Shore. The current enhancement program managed by the FQSA, which amounts to $10 million, involves part of the North Shore. The $15 million is for an assessment for other regions of Quebec, including Saguenay, the Lower St. Lawrence and the Gaspé Peninsula.
