I have to say that I find it absolutely scandalous that we received just $1.7 million out of $400 million. On numerous occasions, I asked your predecessors whether a portion was set aside for Quebec since there was no agreement with Quebec for the awarding of that funding.
Your predecessors never gave me an answer on that. Even when the deadline was reached for funding applications, there was still no agreement with Quebec. Yet it looks as though you decided to award funding to the other provinces and leave Quebec out. As a result, we did not receive our share. This is unfortunate.
I hope I have misunderstood and that you will tell me that in the end there is some money hidden away for Quebec. If not, this is just scandalous, sir.
