Premier François Legault said on Wednesday he has nothing against provincial funds being used to finance celebrations of Canada, he just doesn’t want them used to promote federalism.
“What we’re talking about is the promotion of federalism,” Legault told reporters. “I don’t think it’s up to the government of Quebec to finance activities promoting federalism. We can give grants to neighbourhood parties during Canada Day. What we want to avoid is getting into the promotion of federalism and Canada.”
Legault added however that the funding ban also extends to neighbourhood-level activities that promote Quebec sovereignty.
