Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would say that the renewal of the roadmap is good news. Its permanent funding until 2018, and beyond, will help us plan over a much longer term and structure our interventions even better.
In Quebec, we are reaching 99% of our OLMCs. I think that prosperity goes through economic development for our OLMCs and for our other communities. From there on in, the key to success is economic development, the same as for remote regions that would not necessarily be part of an OLMC.
I think that economic prosperity, through the EDI initiative, will help us achieve goals. Continued funding is very good news for us, at Canada Economic Development.
