Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Dubé‑Côté, I'd like to go back to our previous exchange to clarify my point.
You represent the cleantech industry in Quebec, and I think it's a fine industry, an industry of the future that must have financing. Obviously, a large part of the return on investment for companies in this industry is collective and ecological in nature, which in itself justifies public investment. As I was saying earlier, my assessment of the situation is that your industry is the first victim of what is happening today. If the rules for managing this fund had been stricter, Minister Champagne wouldn't have had to freeze funding and we wouldn't be in this situation today. I wanted to make that very clear.
Of course, you don't know how many projects could have gone ahead or how many jobs have been lost since they froze funding, because you don't have those figures to hand. However, I'd like to give you the chance to give us some examples of promising projects that could be delayed because of the mess of public funds mismanagement we are witnessing today.
