Launching of the Politique nationale de la ruralité 2007-2014
(National rurality policy 2007-2014)
Through this policy, the government is making available to rural
communities flexible and adapted means of intervention totaling
$280 million, $238 million of which will be managed entirely by the
RCMs.
The Government of Québec and the partners of rural communities
have reiterated their wish to see the measures
of this policy given tangible form as soon as possible in the
field, particularly with respect to the signing of memoranda of
understanding with the rural pacts. The Minister of Municipal
Affairs and Regions will see to the signing of these memoranda of
understanding with each of the RCMs by the end of March 2007 in
order to make them operational effective from the start of the
upcoming fiscal year.
