Mr. Speaker, the Quebec firm CD-ROM-Dessins animés received $752,000 for a sponsorship application of $450,000.
This coming February, my riding will be hosting the Canada Winter Games. The organizing committee has applied for financial assistance of $900,000 from the sponsorship program and has received only $500,000.
Can the minister of public works tell us whether the sponsorship program is solely for Quebec or if one of the criteria for program eligibility is to have connections with the Prime Minister and his cabinet?
