Criticism
Government funds have come under criticism from non-Canadian sources for their relatively poor performance, as some of these funds lagged equity indices in both the U.S. and Canada. Additionally, some government funds have been alleged to compete with private investment, potentially hurting the development of new companies in areas where they operate.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance. He becomes a source of blessings rather than wages. Criticism is sacrilege, doubt is heresy.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
“A bad short story or novel or poem leaves one comparatively calm because it does not exist, unless it gets a fake prestige through being mistaken for good work. It is essentially negative, it is something that has not come through. But over bad criticism one has a sense of real calamity.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“Good criticism is very rare and always precious.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
