Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to continue reading the excellent list provided to me by departmental officials.
In the case of Montreal's Tour de l'île, our sponsorship was $50,000, compared to $229,772.80 for Quebec. Did the Government of Canada get a deal?
Let me give another example. The Canadian government's sponsorship for Quebec City's Festival d'été international was $25,000, compared to $579,900 for the Quebec government.
