TPC - Bioniche (en francais)

H/T to Angry and Bill

Seems that Bioniche did very well with former Liberal Cabinet Minister David Dingwall for this one particular project. The "unlimited" figure in 2000/2001 is kind of frightening.

4.3 Unless the Minister agrees otherwise in writing, the amount of the Contribution will not exceed the following amounts in the relevant Fiscal Years of the Project as follows:

2000/01: unlimited
2001/02: $ 1,340,000
2002/03: $3,527,000
2003/04: $2,152,000
2004105: $ 440,000
2005/06: $ 0

The Minister will consider any request to reprofile these funds, but the Minister Will have no obligation to pay any greater amount in any of the said Fiscal Years except to the extent that such reprofiling will have been agreed to by the Minister.
