In the last few years, we have instituted a new system for doing business with the Government of Canada. One that is more open, more accessible, more geared to SMEs.
Government contracts are quite often essential to the development of SMEs.
In fact, I always promised myself that if I ever held a suitable position of responsibility, I would make SMEs the focus of my political action. And now my dream is coming true. The largest purchasing volume in Canada. In addition to restoring a valuable asset, this contract made it possible to maintain 10 jobs in the region. 1,900 leases and rentals totalling more than 440 million dollars.
