Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank all the witnesses for being here this morning.
My first question is for Mr. Tanguay, but can certainly be for all the witnesses, if they wish to answer.
Since 2006, I have had the opportunity to make a lot of announcements in the regions of Quebec for the Economic Development Agency of Canada. Quebec has a well-established network in its various regions, and we have employees who are very committed to economic development. We have had some successes. In fact, most of our announcements are about success stories. However, some files sometimes seem to take longer to get going because of challenges, and we are learning from those challenges.
Do you think that there are more challenges for our minority communities when the time comes to launch projects? Do you think it depends on the leadership in the community or the leadership of the entrepreneurs? There are challenges, but there are also advantages. For example, economically speaking, being an anglophone is an advantage in Quebec for exporting.
Could you explain what these leaders can do to make their projects successful and to deal with the challenges they face?
