The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal holds many awareness-raising workshops on foreign markets. We actually started doing that about 15 years ago, when 82% or 83% of our exports were headed to the United States. We were too dependent on our neighbour.
We hold about 15 workshops annually to raise awareness of foreign markets. It's a half-day training session for interested entrepreneurs. We always have between 30 and 50 participants. We talk about business opportunities in markets—Japanese or other. Afterwards, during the second part of the day, Quebec companies that do business in those countries come tell us about their experience, successes and failures. So there is some interaction, and that really helps companies get to know those markets and all their potential.
