In the exercise of my official duties as the Minister of Canadian Heritage, I recused myself, on November 30, 2020, from participating in any discussion or decision regarding an expected funding request by the company Dix au Carré, in order to avoid any opportunity to provide preferential treatment or to improperly further the private interests of Mr. Félix Marzell, President and majority shareholder of that company.
