Thank you, Madam Chair.
This meeting is making us realize how important it is to bring the various sectors together, especially in the regions. The contribution of civil society and artists and their creativity is obvious. This can clearly have an effect on industry.
Mr. Rousson, we also saw the influence that your institution, as a research university, can have on regional economic development.
Can you please give us more concrete examples? In the northern regions, such as Abitibi, Bay James, the north-east bordering Ontario, Nunavik and northern Quebec, how can UQAT's research help green the economy?
I am referring to the work done by Mr. Vincent Poirier in agriculture, such as soil carbon sequestration, as well as the efforts of Mr. Osvaldo Valeria in forestry and those of the Institut de recherche en mines et environnement, the IRME, in the mining sector.
Over to you.
