First, I think we should reach out to companies and make them aware that there are business opportunities. Let us not forget that there are a number of potential clients in their own backyards, but there are many more when we look around the world.
We have also been having a lot of meetings for some time, particularly with the Quebec government, which is developing an export strategy.
We have had meetings recently with some EDC representatives, who are also thinking about how to improve our exports.
During the discussions with the EDC representatives, they tried to target a number of companies. They do not want to focus on everyone at the same time. The idea is to target businesses that have a real potential for development, growth and openness to foreign markets, because this adventure is not for everyone. Let's then try to target businesses and then work with them to prepare them to seize opportunities and face international markets. Those are the kinds of discussions we have had recently with the EDC representatives. In addition to providing information, let's develop and find businesses that have real potential for development. That is the type of thing that we are working on with them.
Finally, we should not try to cover all the markets in the world. Can we focus on a certain number of markets? Let me remind you that Quebec has lost some market shares in the U.S., although today it still remains its largest export market.
We must therefore look at other countries, other markets, but in a focused manner, not by going off in all directions.
