As far as the average value of projects is concerned, there was no impact. The fact that it was the Minister, Mr. Jean-Pierre Blackburn who signed the agreements and approved the projects had no impact on the average value of the projects, if that is what you are asking.

There was no minimum or maximum amount. The minister can approve projects whose value is under $10 million, and that is still the case today.
