Matchs des Kings à Québec | Des pans de l’entente divulgués en commission parlementaire

(Québec) Le gouvernement du Québec ne paiera ni les repas ni l’alcool des joueurs des Kings de Los Angeles qui viendront disputer deux matchs préparatoires à Québec cet automne.



Caroline Plante

La Presse Canadienne

Le chef de l’opposition officielle, Marc Tanguay, a pu obtenir cette garantie, mardi, lors de l’étude des crédits budgétaires du Conseil du trésor, volet Capitale-Nationale.

Il demandait à ce que l’on décortique l’entente de subvention de 5 à 7 hundreds of thousands signée le 9 septembre 2023 entre le gouvernement du Québec, Québecor et les Kings pour la venue de l’équipe au Centre Vidéotron.

« Allez-vous vous assurer que les Québécois ne vont pas payer pour rembourser de l’alcool, notamment des bouteilles de vin ? Allez-vous vous en assurer, ou c’est attainable qu’on paie ça ? » a voulu savoir M. Tanguay.

Le secrétaire associé chargé du Secrétariat à la Capitale-Nationale, Youri Rousseau, a commencé par dire que serait remboursée « toute dépense de quelque nature que ce soit en lien avec l’organisation et la présentation de l’évènement ».

« C’est très très giant », s’est inquiété M. Tanguay, en invitant M. Rousseau à être plus précis. Un député caquiste d’arrière-ban, Mario Asselin, est alors intervenu pour s’opposer aux questions du chef intérimaire libéral.

M. Rousseau a finalement révélé que l’entente ne prévoit pas le remboursement des dépenses personnelles des joueurs, comme les repas et l’alcool.

« Québecor va prendre les frais liés à la présentation d’évènements et les Kings de Los Angeles seront responsables de leur côté à eux des dépenses engagées pour les équipes, les frais de repas, dépenses personnelles, and many others. », a-t-il expliqué.

« Donc ça, c’est des dépenses qui ne seront pas couvertes dans notre aide. »

Sans le savoir, M. Rousseau venait de dévoiler une partie de l’entente qui avait été jusque-là gardée confidentielle par les responsables de l’accès à l’info.

« On a levé un peu le coin du drap, s’est réjoui M. Tanguay. Je remercie Monsieur le sous-ministre d’avoir divulgué une info qui préalablement avait été caviardée. »

2,5 hundreds of thousands déjà versés à Québecor

Lors des échanges, M. Rousseau a également révélé que 2,5 hundreds of thousands ont déjà été versés au groupe Québecor Sport et Divertissement depuis la signature de l’entente.

Un autre 2,5 hundreds of thousands sera versé à l’entreprise 30 jours avant l’évènement.

Pour s’assurer que Québecor ne subisse pas de pertes, le gouvernement s’est engagé à lui verser jusqu’à 2 hundreds of thousands supplémentaires après l’évènement, si celui-ci est déficitaire.

Si aucune perte n’est encourue, grâce notamment aux revenus de billetterie et de stationnement, « Québecor pourrait être appelée à rembourser » certaines sommes, a déclaré M. Rousseau.

L’annonce de cette subvention gouvernementale avait fait grand bruit l’automne dernier, alors que le ministre des Funds, Eric Girard, affirmait que les funds publiques étaient « serrées » dans un contexte de négociations avec le secteur public.

La subvention – octroyée pour faire venir une équipe de hockey multimillionnaire, a-t-on souligné – est devenue un symbole de la déconnexion du gouvernement lors de ces négociations.

Québec accueillera, du 2 au 8 octobre prochain, le camp d’entraînement des Kings de Los Angeles et deux matchs hors concours avec les Bruins de Boston et les Panthers de la Floride.

Analysis: How Inter Milan won its 20th Serie A title and Inzaghi his first as coach

MILAN (AP) — Inter Milan stormed to a twentieth Serie A title and earned a second star on the crew shirts after dominating the league similar to Napoli did final season.

The Italian title race was anticipated to be a more in-depth struggle this marketing campaign however the defending champion stuttered from the beginning simply as Inter impressed from the outset.

Every little thing appeared to click on seamlessly for the Nerazzurri, who had been helped by remaining comparatively injury-free, and it was inevitable for a very long time once they clinch the league on Monday.

It was even sweeter for Inter that it did so at metropolis rival AC Milan, which additionally began the season hoping to safe its twentieth Serie A trophy.

The two-1 victory at San Siro lifted Inter 17 factors away from second-placed Milan with 5 matches to spare.

Right here’s how Inter did it:

IMPRESSIVE INZAGHI

Inter coach Simone Inzaghi has lastly graduated from his ‘King of Cups’ nickname.

The 48-year-old Inzaghi had by no means coached a crew to a league title regardless of a powerful checklist of achievements.

With Lazio after which Inter, Inzaghi received three Italian Cups and 5 Italian Tremendous Cups, incomes him the title of “Re di Coppe” (“King of Cups”). He additionally steered Inter to the Champions League closing final yr.

The best way he broke his Serie A duck has been notably excellent.

Inter dominated over the league. The Nerazzurri misplaced only one match — in late September — and have by far the perfect assault in addition to the perfect protection.

Inter has 79 league objectives, 15 greater than the subsequent greatest assault — Milan — and went on a 13-match successful run in all competitions firstly of the yr.

That run was halted solely final month in a shootout loss at Atletico Madrid within the second leg of the Champions League spherical of 16.

TIMELY CHANGES

Inter has additionally garnered reward for its attacking aptitude. The crew has been entertaining.

That aesthetic has been all the way down to Inzaghi’s participant administration. Whereas he tends to maintain squad rotation to a minimal, he persistently makes use of all 5 substitutions accessible.

Inzaghi additionally hardly ever makes use of them earlier than the hour mark, until a participant is on a yellow card. Inter has not had two gamers despatched off for 2 bookings this season.

SMART BUYS

There was concern amongst Inter supporters when Romelu Lukaku and Edin Dzeko departed within the offseason to go away the Nerazzurri and not using a heart ahead.

These worries didn’t final lengthy as new signing Marcus Thuram seamlessly slotted in as Lautaro Martinez’s new strike accomplice.

A lot so, that Lautaro and Thuram have taken over from Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as Serie A’s most harmful strike pairing

The 26-year-old Thuram — the son of former Parma and Juventus defender Lilian Thuram – has 12 objectives and 7 assists, whereas Inter captain Lautaro has a league-high 23 objectives.

One other key signing that originally raised eyebrows was that of veteran Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer for six million euros (then $5.45 million) to interchange Andre Onana.

That was a fraction of the 51 million euros ($57 million) that Inter gained from promoting Onana to Manchester United, and has was a wise enterprise deal.

Whereas Onana has been considerably of a flop within the English Premier League, Sommer has proved ever dependable between the sticks. Not solely has Inter conceded the least within the league however the 35-year-old Sommer has saved essentially the most clear sheets, with 17 in 30 matches.

LACK OF CHALLENGERS

Slightly below a yr in the past, Napoli was celebrating its first Serie A title in additional than three a long time.

It should appear as if nearly as a lot time has handed since then for its followers.

Napoli, which is on target for the worst title protection in Italian league historical past, is on its third coach of the marketing campaign and sits a woeful eighth within the desk.

Since 1995, solely twice has a crew didn’t qualify for the Champions League the season after lifting the Serie A trophy.

Roma and Lazio additionally went by teaching modifications after mediocre begins to the season, and a horrendous month for Milan in the direction of the tip of final yr put paid to its title hopes.

That left Juventus the final reasonable challenger to Inter — far past expectations after a tumultuous yr off the sphere for the Bianconeri.

Juventus even moved into the lead in January whereas Inter was concerned within the Italian Tremendous Cup.

However Juventus spectacularly fell away because it didn’t win one other match for greater than a month. The Bianconeri have received simply two of their final 12 league matches in a depressing run.

Inter, in the meantime, has churned out the victories in a charmed season.
