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:
“Unless criticism refuses to take itself quite so seriously or at least to permit its readers not to, it will inevitably continue to reflect the finicky canons of the genteel tradition and the depressing pieties of the Culture Religion of Modernism.”
—Leslie Fiedler (b. 1917)
“Good criticism is very rare and always precious.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
