Natural resources represent an important source of collective wealth. At the heart of numerous projects across Quebec, they present development opportunities for the communities involved and for businesses that intend to invest on these territories. How can the metropolitan economy be placed at the service of developing our resources? What spin-offs from these major investments can be expected for the metropolitan economy?
