Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will ask my questions quickly.
Mr. Vaillancourt, I agree with you that it is much more difficult to learn English than French. I know from personal experience. Further, in your opening remarks, you reminded us of the importance of spending wisely, but also spending less. Investing and managing our investments wisely is a good motto that the federal government should follow every day.
My first question is for Ms. Pelletier, who represents the Edmundston Chamber of Commerce.
Ms. Pelletier, you mentioned that New Brunswick borders the United States and Quebec. The regulations that apply in Quebec and in Maine are obviously not the same.
How can the federal government facilitate access to the Quebec market, for instance? We will talk about the U.S. market another time. Our concern is facilitating trade between Quebec and New Brunswick.
Can you make any recommendations? What would you like to see in our report?
