Suzanne M. Benoît, president of Aéro Montréal, issued the following statement on behalf of the board of directors of Aéro Montréal.
Aéro Montréal, Québec’s aerospace cluster, believes that the decision by the U.S. Department of Commerce to impose countervailing duties on Bombardier will create uncertainty, and it will adversely affect the competitiveness of the aerospace ecosystem.
On behalf of the aerospace cluster, Aéro Montréal is asking the parties involved to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
We consider Canada’s and Québec’s aerospace investments to be in compliance with international trade rules. It is in the interest of all companies that markets remain open and that competition stays healthy.
Aéro Montréal is composed of more than 200 companies of all sizes that have customers around the world. About 80 per cent of Québec’s aerospace production is exported to countries worldwide.
