I will respond by first talking to you about what young entrepreneurs lack. In Quebec, 98% of businesses are SMEs. The majority lack various resources, for example in terms of human resources. When they don't have experience, we try to encourage them to go to other provinces. Interprovincial trade isn't really being exploited at present.
We have a new agreement, the Canadian free trade agreement. However, neither the provincial nor federal governments have established a strategy for how to benefit our businesses. It's a good springboard for businesses that export little in the sense that it can help them take their first step toward exporting. Once francophone businesses have taken this step, even if only to English Canada, it is then easier for them to go elsewhere, including the United States and Europe. That's one way to help our businesses.
The federal government is very present. We are working very hard with Global Affairs Canada representatives. So we are very familiar with their international trade strategy, and we tell them about our programming on a regular basis. We think our businesses could really benefit from the pan-Canadian component. That needs to be further developed.
