Longueuil, Quebec, November 3, 2026 – To represent your voice effectively and defend your companies’ interests, here is a summary of the six issues we are actively pursuing with the governments of Quebec and Canada.
In brief
Following the election tour, during which we made your priorities heard, we are continuing our efforts by opening a dialogue with newly elected officials responsible for economic and innovation files, so they understand the role our sector plays as a pillar of growth for Quebec.
Since the launch of the Stratégie gouvernementale des marchés publics 2026-2030 (Government Public Procurement Strategy) last June, AQT has been seeking concrete results and is actively pursuing its efforts with the Secrétariat du Conseil du trésor (Treasury Board Secretariat) to promote the benefits of increasing your companies’ participation in public procurement.
AQT is working closely with Investissement Québec to make the criteria grid more predictable and simplify the preparation of your applications. Note that Investissement Québec will offer a training session in early December.
AQT met with the office of the Minister of Industry to better understand the support measures available to our CEOs in response to the tariff war.
AQT is in discussions with Defence representatives to help you assess opportunities and position your company in projects related to this sector. An information session on this topic is planned for January.
On November 5, AQT will attend the budget lock-up in Ottawa so it can quickly share the news that affects your companies.
