Thank you very much, Madam Chair. With your permission, I will share my time with my colleague from the Green Party so that he can ask questions as well.
As a proud Montrealer, though, I would like to turn to Mr. Leblanc, from the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal.
Mr. Leblanc, I was very happy to hear you talk about our Montreal companies that are exporting abroad. In my constituency, as you may know, we have Mile End, Côte-des-Neiges and Outremont, where we see more and more exporting entrepreneurs, especially in future fields, like artificial intelligence.
Do you share my view that the very existence of this modernized agreement is important in deepening our relationship with innovation centres such as San Francisco and Boston, and that it will allow our small businesses in Montreal to grow even faster?
