Thank you, Madam Chair.
Since this is the last time I will speak, I would like to show my solidarity to Mr. van Raalte in the context of what he is going through. Indeed, forestry is a very important business and there is work to be done to better support our forestry entrepreneurs.
I would like to talk about procurement contracts with the representatives of the Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec. Doing business with the Government of Canada offers great opportunities for Quebec businesses. However, offering goods and services to the federal government can mean running into laws, regulations, agreements, policies, directives, procedures and guidelines, as well as challenge processes.
In order to promote business competitiveness, how could the federal government reduce this administrative and regulatory burden?
