While Toronto is important to the CFC, that doesn't mean other partners should be ignored. The FQE remains a good client for the CFC. For example, the CYCC this year is likely to have nearly 500 participants.

A word on the transparency principle : It has its limits. The CFC and FQE are companies and usually companies do not negociate on the public domain. What about Zoom ?
