Mr. Speaker, the Department of Industry launched a special competition for smart communities.
Groups from Bromont, Laurier—Sainte-Marie, Rimouski, and Shawinigian were among the finalists from Quebec. The winner was Groupe Forces, whose general director, Mario Pépin, was suspended following the CITEC scandal.
In order to remove any doubts about the merit of the winning project, will the Minister of Industry promise to make public the criteria used in judging entries, and the results obtained by each of the finalists?
