Thank you for your question, Mr. Généreux.
It is difficult to choose from the 10 recommendations, it's sort of like choosing the child you love best. The idea of making economic and community development a pillar in the next action plan is very important to us.
That said, in a future plan, the investment in that pillar is equally important. We can see that the current roadmap has been around since 2004. So my comments are not political in nature. We see that the money invested in the enabling fund has been stable since 2004, meaning $12.5 million since 2004. We see that there are significant benefits from that fund.
In terms of investment, I think it's a good initiative. In connection with that, the economic development initiative has received a significant increase with the roadmap. However,
If we look at Quebec, we see that out of this $30.5 million for the past five years, $10.5 million is associated with Quebec. Clearly we're getting wonderful returns on that money. It makes sense to invest more money in those areas.
Thank you for the question, Mr. Généreux.
