Even though Ubisoft is already pretty rich right now, it seems that even more money is coming in for the French publisher.

According to GameSpot, today's issue of the Quebecois broadsheet La Presse reports that tomorrow, the Canadian government will announce it is giving Ubisoft's Montreal-based subsidiary C$ 8 million (around US$ 6.8 million).

The money is apparently part of an ongoing grant program where Ubisoft receives C$ 454 million (approximately US$ 383.9 million) from Ottawa to create 1,000 jobs in Quebec. La Presse says the money is to "permit the creation of a computer-animation studio in Montreal." The studio would be the first of its kind in the city's history, and would be used initially to produce short films for the general public.

Canada's labor minister Jean-Pierre Blackburn and Montreal's mayor, Gerald Tremblay, will be making the grant announcement tomorrow according to La Presse. Ubisoft chairman and CEO Yves Guillemot will be in attendance, as will Ubisoft Montreal head Yannis Mallat. Ubisoft has yet to give a statement regarding this issue, though, and according to GameSpot, the publisher's corporate PR office had not responded to requests for comment.
