Less than 1/100th of Quebec budget not enough 'to attack the no. 1 problem facing humanity': 5th grader
Treasury Board president gets stark illustration of Environment Ministry spending from 11-year-old constituent
Merlin Branchaud did the math, and his calculations are bang on: the Environment Ministry's annual budget represents just 0.21 per cent of provincial government spending.
That's too little, surmised the Grade 5 student, who summed up his views in a letter that he hand-delivered to his MNA, Treasury Board President Christian Dubé.
"In my class, we learn fractions, percentages and decimals. So, I decided to apply my knowledge of mathematics to politics," Merlin wrote.
His letter was accompanied by a graph that represents the government spending on the Environment Ministry as a fraction of total expenditures.
Thanks Ivan
