ROBI
Robi GuhaCEO, TLM

''I’m grateful to AQT for serving as a voice for the industry with government. As an SME, it gives us a voice that represents us and advocates for our interests. My company has been a member for several years, and AQT regularly checks in with us to stay connected to the issues that matter. I’ve had the opportunity to get involved in a number of initiatives, and I’ve seen firsthand their ability to engage with senior government officials, their professionalism, and their ability to bring partners together.''

Josée BrassardCEO, NéoSynergix

“As CEO of my company, I especially appreciate when AQT consults with us: I know our operational challenges will be heard and taken into account. When those realities are then brought forward to government decision-makers, the value of our membership becomes clear. AQT’s recent work on the CDAE-IA file is a perfect example.”

LUC LEBLANC (1)
Luc LeblancCEO, Orthogone Technologies

“AQT acts as an advocate for our industry and represents us with government. I’ve renewed my membership year after year because, as an entrepreneur, it allows me to focus on running my business knowing that the issues that matter are being championed by our association. Kudos to AQT for its advocacy on the CDAE-IA file.”

Valérie coutu
Valérie CoutuCEO, Jovaco

“On their own, a CEO can voice their concerns. With AQT, those concerns become the voice of an entire industry. That collective voice gives us a reach we simply wouldn’t have individually. As members, AQT regularly consults us on the issues we face and quickly brings recommendations forward to government. The changes to the CDAE-IA are a great example. I believe AQT did remarkable work on this file. I particularly value the access AQT gives us to presentations from public decision-makers.”
