Commanditer: To finance or to sponsor an organization by providing funds, without obtaining ownership of said organization.
As seen in: « Mario Dumont est formel. Lui et l’ADQ n’ont jamais payé ni commandité la gang d’Hérouxville et son code de vie, tel que l’a déclaré hier André Boisclair en entrevue avec Richard Martineau à l’émission Les Francs-tireurs de Télé-Québec. »
(Translation: “Mario Dumont made it clear. He and the ADQ never paid nor sponsored the Hérouxville gang and their code of living, as was stated yesterday by André Boisclair in an interview with Richard Martineau on the Télé-Québec program Les Francs-tireurs.”)
