The Federal Office of Regional Development-Quebec resource envelope consists of appropriations for programs approved by Treasury Board-we call this our "A Base"-and a sum of money not yet allocated to a specific program (regional development reserve).
It is anticipated that the $70 million cuts will partly be applied to our "A Base" ($34.77 million) over the three-year period. The balance ($35.23 million) will reduce the funds in the regional development reserve.
