Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I'd like to welcome the witnesses. This is a very interesting conversation.
Mr. Trottier, I believe you are in the riding of Beauport—Limoilou, represented by our colleague Steeve Lavoie, who could not be here today due to a committee scheduling conflict. He also serves on the Standing Committee on Finance. He asked me to formally convey his apologies to you.
From what I understand from our discussion, the Quebec government has stopped offering certain programs in which you participated, leaving you in a difficult financial situation. How could the federal government, in collaboration with the provincial government, help you address this situation?
