Mr. Speaker, the member has the facts wrong. Those are two completely different projects. Two different technologies will be developed that will help other companies in the country to be more competitive and more innovative. I think they will be very good for the economy and for Canadians.
First, these are not contributions. They are like loan guarantees. The company will repay the Government of Canada.
The objective of this program is precisely that: for the government to share the risks of developing high technology with industry.
