Quebec should better supervise colleges, said the auditor general
The Ministry of Education should put his nose in the financial commitments of colleges, according to the Auditor General of Quebec, which raises the specter of financial fiasco UQAM.
It points the finger at the lax business relationships between colleges and their partners, with the tacit complicity of the ministry.

"Normally, Quebec should" seek some form of accountability to colleges, "he said in a press conference.
Quebec pays $ 1.3 billion per year to the network of colleges.
However, the Ministry of Education may need to intervene when colleges suffer financial losses, said the auditor general, who examined the financial statements of six colleges.
The direction of a college has the financial flexibility to engage in a project, except that if the project goes wrong, government, "in extreme cases, will have to pay", as in the case of UQAM, at he recalled.
In a previous report, Mr. Lachance had denounced the "weak governance" and the lack of rigorous monitoring of the Ministry of Education that led to the financial fiasco UQAM.
Quebec has swallowed $ 400 million of public funds to help UQAM to get out of the abyss.
On a smaller scale, "says Lachance, the Ministry of Education had to pay last March $ 2.5 million CEGEP du Vieux-Montreal, which has lost money on the sale of a residence student.
The Auditor General notes that the ministry has no portrait of all the partners of colleges.
No authorization of the Ministry is required before the funds colleges do in a project, he adds.
Moreover, as each year the annual report of the Auditor General on shortcomings in other government agencies.
For example, the Ministry of Health evaluates poorly support to community organizations.
He accuses including not to a "systematic and periodic reassessment of the amount granted to each of these organizations.
Shortcomings were found also in the issuance of liquor license by the Liquor, races and games.
Finally, Mr. Lachance concludes that there is no evidence that there squandering of public funds or abuses of power by the Public Protector.
It is the protector of the citizen who had asked him last March to verify the allegations contained in an anonymous letter.

The second proposes to increase university scholarships and creating loans for further studies.
