Mastering Rapid Forgiveness Techniques
In a move inspired by Virgil's principle in the Aeneid, "fortune favors the bold", the Coalition avenir Québec government introduced a program of "forgivable loans" to aid companies. However, concerns about transparency and potential exploitation have been raised, as the public sees only limited information about this program.
Since 2020, Quebec is reported to have disbursed $1.43 billion in "forgivable loans", with nearly two-thirds going to foreign societies or their local subsidiaries. Yet, there is no information in the provided search results about which companies have been entrusted with nearly 1.85 billion dollars through the CAQ-controlled program, nor about how many payments are still outstanding.
The lack of transparency in the program raises the disturbing idea that the economic thought of the Legault government might be less organized and thoughtful than it claims. The program operates on impulse, with minimal obstacles and requirements, which gives it great flexibility but also exposes Quebec to dispersion, exploitation, and error.
The program has been criticized for lacking transparency, as there is no benchmark or limit to seize opportunities, and the criteria for obtaining the loans and their repayment conditions are unknown. The government suggests transparency can be achieved through publishing general data or conducting independent audits, but the CAQ government defends the confidentiality of information regarding the "forgivable loans" program.
The editorial expresses concern about the CAQ's management of forgivable loans, suggesting it could be a red light for Quebec seeking to loosen bureaucracy. The public might not be so forgiving of opacity as a method of loosening, in reference to the CAQ's forgivable loans program.
The editorial warns that this lack of transparency could undermine public trust and potentially lead to misuse of funds. It is crucial for the government to address these concerns and ensure that the program is managed in a way that is open, accountable, and beneficial to all Quebecers.
