Quebec denounces the lack of Federal support for the forest industry

While Ontario has received an additional funding of $ 250 million over five years to support the automotive sector, the quebecois government denounced the absence of a similar financial support for the Quebec forestry industry.

To delegate for Canadian Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Alexandre Cloutier, it is a treatment towards the inequitable Quebec.

He argues that the federal government has poured nearly $ 11 billion in Ontario's auto industry since 2009, while the quebecois forestry sector has received $ 300 million. Of "peanuts", deplored the Minister Cloutier.

He added that the Harper government poured into electioneering distributing aid in a province where he hopes to make gains in the elections of 2015.

Since the Conservatives won a majority government without Quebec, the province is once again left out, says Cloutier.
