The Réseau des SADC et CAE would like to sincerely thank the Government of Canada for the essential financial contribution of $287 M$ that the Prime Minister of Canada, the Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, has just granted to Quebec's 67 CFDCs and BDCs and to 268 organizations across the country. Discussions with Minister Mélanie Joly and her team were fruitful, and we would like to thank her most warmly for her attentiveness and determination in this matter. Our strong partnership with Canada Economic Development also contributed to this announcement, which will help the smallest businesses to survive during this extremely difficult period.
According to Daniel Dumas, President of the Réseau des SADC et CAE, "SMEs are the economic engine of rural Quebec. Thanks to this financial contribution from the federal government, we will be able to continue our work with our trademark agility and speed of delivery, to help entrepreneurs ensure their stability and prepare for recovery."
Discussions will take place over the next few days with government representatives to ensure prompt delivery of this financial assistance. Further details will be announced shortly.
