That’s all well and good. I understand that we need to try to reduce our dependence on the United States, but in that case, what do we do? Where do I turn? What do I do? Where should I sell my products?
Last fall, the Quebec government and the Canadian government made major announcements regarding mining and hydroelectricity. These are large-scale projects that I would like to see come to fruition in the short term, because such projects could help Quebec’s metal-processing industry. In fact, when you build a mine or expand a power plant, you need mechanical equipment and suppliers. There should be regulations ensuring that Canadian companies are the ones supplying this equipment.
I believe this is an opportunity that Canada should seize quickly. If we want to stop depending on the United States in my sector, we’ll need to stimulate the Canadian industry through investments.
