Quebec’s financial regulator, the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), Wednesday announced the education, public awareness and research projects that will receive financial support from the Education and Good Governance Fund (EGGF).

The assessment committee selected nine projects, submitted before the March 30 deadline, for total financial support in the amount of $953,947.

“The projects selected by the EGGF assessment committee will help the AMF achieve its objectives with respect to consumer education and protection of the public. The fund is an invaluable tool for us,” noted Mario Albert, AMF president and CEO.

Since its establishment in 2004, the EGGF has supported 107 projects with over $14.5 million in financing for projects focusing on investor protection and education, the promotion of good governance and the advancement of knowledge.
