Mr. Speaker, the Haute‑Yamaska regional business support centre, known as the CAE, recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. This festive and unifying event successfully highlighted four decades of contributing to the region's economic development.
Since 1985, the CAE has been a crucial partner in promoting the local economy by vigorously supporting, financing and helping businesses in the region.
The Haute-Yamaska region is a major economic driver of Quebec in large part because of the dynamic team at the CAE.
I would like to give a special mention to the executive director, Isabelle Brochu, who has helped the CAE grow over the years. I had the pleasure of talking with her about an interest we share, namely women entrepreneurship.
We can be proud of the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the region.
I would like to offer my sincere congratulations to the Haute‑Yamaska regional business support centre for its 40 years of dedication to our entrepreneurs.
They are a pillar of prosperity in Haute‑Yamaska. I hope they can keep this momentum going for years to come because, ultimately, our success depends on our people.
