Quebec Finance Minister Eric Girard is actively promoting Quebec as a key player in the Canadian economy transformation. He highlighted the province’s strengths in manufacturing, clean energy, defense expertise, and strategic minerals during a recent summit in Toronto.
Girard expressed enthusiasm about engaging with top foreign investors present at the event, emphasizing the importance of private investment for economic growth. He acknowledged the challenges of securing capital-intensive projects but stressed the need for private and foreign capital to drive these initiatives forward.
Representing the Quebec government at the summit, Girard joined other industry leaders from companies like Bombardier, Desjardins, and Rio Tinto. The event aimed to foster collaboration and attract investments to support significant projects that would benefit the Quebec economy.
The summit, reminiscent of past initiatives, brought together key players from various sectors to explore opportunities for partnership and growth. Girard believes that the true impact of the summit will become evident over the next two years as investments materialize and projects progress.
