As I said at the outset, the Fonds de solidarité FTQ provides patient capital. Obviously, without the return of the tax credit we could not have continued to do this long term. Our entrepreneurs and businesses in Canada and Quebec need long term patient capital. So this allowed us to think long term again.
We did some strategic planning to see how we could do more for Canadian and Quebec businesses. We continue to invest in all sectors of the economy, but this allowed us to emphasize certain sectors that create more jobs, significant value, or export a great deal, for instance companies in the aerospace, agrifood, forestry and life sciences sectors. We were both present last year at the launching of Sterinova, a life sciences and biotechnology sector enterprise.
So this allows us to continue to support our entrepreneurs over the long term. To develop businesses you need a lot of resilience, a lot of time, and patient capital.
