I am informed as follows: Industry Canada--In 1987 the minister of regional industrial expansion, a predecessor department to Industry Canada, and the Quebec government provided a cost shared 50:50 30 year interest free loan to General Motors of Canada, GM, totalling $220 million conditional on the upgrading of the Ste-Thérèse plant’s paint facility and the awarding by GM of a new product mandate. The loan is repayable in April 2017, whether or not the plant’s operations are maintained.
Transport Canada--1995-96 until September 2001, nil; 1964-65 to 1994-95, regrettably the information is not available. According to guidelines from the National Archives of Canada records related to grants and contributions must be kept for six years after which they may be disposed of.
Insofar as the other departments, agencies and crown corporations, they have reported no information on this question.
