On October 30, the provincial Minister of Finance, Mrs. Monique Jérôme-Forget, announced the creation of a Working Group on Business Investment, to be headed by Pierre Fortin, faculty member in our department.
The Group will consider various ways of attracting capital investment in Quebec. Pierre Fortin notes: “It is necessary to both encourage Quebec companies to invest here and find the means with which to attract foreign investment”. What measures might be taken in order to stimulate such investment growth? This is the question to which the Group will be soon devoting its efforts. The report to is to be delivered to the Minister in January 2008.
