Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Ms. Sirois, Mr. Robitaille, and Ms. Roy. I am very pleased that you are here this afternoon.
Obviously, we cannot underestimate the importance of the forest for Témiscouata where 87% of the area is covered by forest.
During your presentation, you mentioned that businesses in Témiscouata cannot develop in a local context alone. A number of issues might influence their capacity to export and penetrate other markets. You indicated that SMEs in the region were especially ill-equipped for managing this environment.
Could you spend a bit of time elaborating on the tools the SMEs would need in order to thrive?
