Montreal, September 24, 2014 – Which regions contribute to boosting Quebec’s productivity? Which ones drive the economy, and which ones trail behind?

Yet this is a fundamental aspect of the problem, since long-term efforts to improve Quebec’s performance will have to target each region’s specific needs.”
