What is Province of Quebec provincial *government* Tsunami relief contribution? 

Like private citizens in other countries, individual Canadians have
made contributions directly to Tsunami relief agencies such as the
Canadian Red Cross.  Online contributions facilitate quick and easy
donations.

The Canadian federal government, like other national governments, have made
contributions directly to various NGOs for Tsunami relief.
Individual Canadian provincial goverments of varying "GDP" have made their
own contributions directly to the Canadian Red Cross. 

I think BC was first, with CDN$8 million
Alberta and Ontario were next, with CDN$5 million each.

Given that the Province of Quebec has a population equal to BC and
Alberta *combined* what is the Quebec provincial *government* Tsunami
relief contribution?

Note: I realize that many government entities around the world have
revised their initial pledges upwards so it might be unfair if current
numbers are later revised.

?Saskatchewan will join other provinces in sending money to aid
victims of this week's killer tsunami.

On Friday, Premier Lorne Calvert said the provincial government will
contribute $1 million for both short-term disaster relief and
medium-term reconstruction assistance.

British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell said that province will send
$8 million to the Red Cross, while Alberta and Ontario are both
chipping in $5 million.

Quebec and Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland are
each donating $100,000 to the disaster clean-up efforts.?

?Nova Scotia has donated $100,000 to the Canadian Red Cross to bolster
the agency's relief efforts in tsunami-devastated countries.

Hugh Fraser, a spokesman for the premier's office, said the donation
is comparable to pledges from New Brunswick and Quebec but far less
than the $8 million donated by British Columbia or the $5 million
promised by both Alberta and Ontario?

?Canadian governments pledged more than C$55 million, including at
least C$40 million from the federal government, C$8 million from the
British Columbia government, and C$5 million each from the Ontario and
Alberta governments. Even Canada's smallest province, Prince Edward
Island pledged C$20,000. The northern Yukon government offered
C$25,000.??

So unless revised, it looks like Alberta gave 150 times more per
capita and BC almost 200 times more per capita than the distinct
province of Quebec.

Thank you Bobbie7
