"Why is your company (that’s supposed to be for the common good) incapable of paying for itself with its exports? $2.5M for this! "
A question from

As on all social media, we post questions exactly as we receive them. They are then translated.
Our answer
Our exports are indeed profitable (Watch the video on exports).
Last year, our electricity exports generated profits of more than $800 million that went towards the company’s net income.
The cost of our information campaign is covered by our annual advertising budget. The campaign is therefore partly funded by Hydro-Québec Production, the Hydro-Québec division in charge of exports.
