Thank you.
It is true that I did not mention aviation in my speech, but it is an extremely important part of our exports, in Quebec. To date, the first concern we have is clearly the capacity to support our industry in Canada. If we go by the news in recent weeks, which will continue in the coming months, we know that this will inevitably depend on the government's decision on the Bombardier C Series aircraft. Clearly, we strongly support a favourable decision on the government’s part.
We are talking about free trade agreements and export markets, and it is clear to us that supporting our major economic sectors in Canada is extremely important. The C Series aircraft are a good example. We are very hopeful about that.
Furthermore, as I said earlier, 45% of Quebec’s products and services are exported. We have a presence in some advanced sectors such as aviation, but we are also present in more traditional sectors. But given the speed at which innovations are being developed, I think our biggest challenge will be to support our manufacturers and our businesses so that they can produce value-added products. Indeed, to remain competitive on the international market, we desperately need value-added products. This requires a great deal of innovation in our businesses in Canada.
